High hash collision oportunity for forever cookie when using UserValidationHash #1921

Closed ddproxy closed 6 months ago

ddproxy commented 9 years ago

I have tested a user validation hash attack against a 5.6.3.2 instance by logging in with different accounts and comparing the ccmUserHash against previous ccmUserHash.

We had an approximate 8% collision rate against 136,000 logins in a successive login attack. Our "Real World" data suggest a .009% collision dating back to early December.
