What it is

The configuration file is encrypted with a static key derived from a

static five-character password which allows an attacker to decrypt this

file. The application hashes this five-character password with

the outdated and broken MD5 algorithm (no salt) and uses the first five

bytes as the key for RC4. The configuration file is then encrypted with

these parameters.
