Weak Password Vulnerability
A security vulnerability arising from the use of simple, easily guessable, or commonly known passwords. Attackers can exploit this weakness through brute-force or dictionary attacks to obtain credentials. It is one of the most fundamental vulnerability types encountered in penetration testing.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
Backend systems have higher privileges and access to larger amounts of data, making the severity of weak-password vulnerabilities in backend systems higher.
Privilege level and data access scope determine the severity of a vulnerability.
Burp Suite can automatically launch a large number of password attempts against login interfaces to verify weak-password vulnerabilities.
The complete workflow for weak-password vulnerability testing consists of four steps: information gathering, environment preparation, vulnerability verification, and compliant submission.
The core logic of weak password vulnerabilities is to locate the login entry point and then attempt to guess the password.
