cryptographically insecure MD5 hash algorithm. Furthermore, the hashes are salted using the username instead of
a random salt, causing hashes for users with the same username and password to collide which is problematic
especially for popular users like the default admin user.
This essentially means that for an attacker, it might be feasible to reconstruct a user's password given access
to these hashes.
Note that attackers needing access to the hashes means that they must gain access to the database in which these
are stored first to be able to start cracking the passwords.");
