Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

NeuVector (Go module github.com/neuvector/neuvector) before the pseudo-version 0.0.0-20250825191744-da1a462074c3 stores user passwords and API keys using an unsalted hash, which makes it vulnerable to rainbow table attacks. An attacker who obtains the stored hashes can recover known passwords offline. The fix is to upgrade to NeuVector 5.4.6 or later; there is no workaround.
