-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Usage of broken hash algorithm detected
                 Key: VXQUERY-247
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VXQUERY-247

*Security Impact*:

The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm is not collision-resistant, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to conduct spoofing attacks

*Useful Resources*:

*Solution we suggest*:

Use Sha >= 256 algorithms instead

*Please share with us your opinions/comments if there is any*:
