Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from MD5
support in the auth.shadow
module. The CheckPassword()
function would be responsible for parsing /etc/shadow
entries and verifying passwords using the stored hash. Since MD5
is explicitly mentioned as the weak mechanism, this function must contain logic to handle MD5
hashes. The file path is inferred from Go module conventions (auth/shadow
component) and standard authentication implementation patterns. The confidence is high because the vulnerability directly relates to hash verification in the specified module.
