What is CVE-2020-4778?

IBM Curam Social Program Management versions 7.0.9 and 7.0.10 utilize the MD5 algorithm for hashing tokens, which is deemed less secure compared to the SHA-256 cryptographic standard employed throughout the application. This inconsistency in hashing methods raises potential security concerns, as MD5 is susceptible to vulnerabilities that could be exploited, compromising the integrity and safety of the token-based authentication process.
