PBKDF2 runs with fewer than 10,000 iterations. Offline brute-forcing of the derived keys or password hashes is cheap.
Category: SECURITY · Engine rule severity: WARNING
How to fix it
Use at least 600,000 iterations for PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 (OWASP 2023), or switch to argon2id / scrypt for password storage.
