CVE-2022-36072
SilverwareGames.io used == for hashing instead of ===
SilverwareGames.io is a social network for users to play video games online. In version 1.1.8 and prior, due to an unobvious feature of PHP, hashes generated by built-in functions and starting with the 0e symbols were being handled as zero multiplied with the e number. Therefore, the hash value was equal to 0. The maintainers fixed this in version 1.1.9 by using === instead of == in comparisons where it is possible (e.g. on sign in/sign up handlers).
