# Weak password hashing with MD5 in Python — Agent PR X-Ray

> Canonical page: https://codevetter.com/xray/py-weak-hash

This is an adjudicated synthetic benchmark example, not a claim about an uploaded repository.

## Source

- Corpus: codevetter-public-benchmark/py-weak-hash
- Language: python
- Category: security
- Evidence state: benchmark_ground_truth

## Finding

- Severity: high
- Title: weak crypto
- Summary: Passwords are hashed with unsalted MD5, which is cryptographically broken and trivially reversed with rainbow tables; identical passwords produce identical hashes.
- Source anchor: `source.py:7`

## Verification boundary

The static finding is qualified against benchmark ground truth. No exact-current executable test or audience validation is included in this example, so those stages remain unverified.
