GMS-2021-95: accounts: Hash account number using Salt

May 24, 2021

@alovak found that currently when we build hash of account number we do not “salt” it. Which makes it vulnerable to rainbow table attack.

What did you expect to see? I expected salt (some random number from configuration) to be used in hash.AccountNumber

I would generate salt per tenant at least (maybe per organization).
