LaborOfficeFree 19.10 MySQL Root Password Calculator

Posted on 14 February 2024

LaborOfficeFree installs a MySQL instance that runs as SYSTEM and calculates the MySQL root password based on two constants. Each time the program needs to connect to MySQL as root, it employs the reverse algorithm to calculate the root password. This issue has been tested on version 19.10 exclusively, but allegedly, versions prior to 19.10 are also vulnerable.
