The server in Blackboard Academic Suite 7.x stores MD5 password hashes that are provided directly by clients, which makes it easier for remote attackers to access accounts via a modified client that skips the javascript/md5.js hash calculation, and instead sends an arbitrary MD5 string.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

1.26% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 70% of all scored CVEs.
