+  description: Usage of weak hashing library on a password (DSS)
+  remediation_message: |-
+    ## Description
+
+    Using a weak hashing library like DSS increases the risk of data breaches. DSS has known security flaws and vulnerabilities, and its use is no longer recommended.
+
+    ## Remediations
+
+    - **Do not** use DSS for hashing passwords as it is considered a weak algorithm. This can compromise data security.
+      ```python
+      hashlib.new('dss', data).digest() # unsafe
+      ```
+    - **Do** use stronger hashing algorithms such as SHA-256 to enhance the security of stored passwords.
+      ```python
+      hashlib.sha256(data).digest()
+      ```
