User account passwords are stored in the database using simple MD5 hashing with no salt. This makes it trivial to crack passwords once retrieved from the database table.

Solution:
All passwords should be stored using a random and unique salt per account, and should use tested methods to perform the encryption specifically designed for password storage. They should not use simple MD5 hashing, even with the salt included.
