Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

In May 2015, a security researcher claimed that brute force attacks could be used against PeopleSoft cookie-token, allegedly resulting in potentially providing the malicious attacker with the ability to escalate his/her privileges.

The purpose of this note is to discuss these public assertions as they relate to the weakness of the SHA-1 algorithm against brute force attacks and the implication of such attacks in PeopleSoft Enterprise environments.
