The catalog warning incorrectly lists SHA0 as a possible algorithm and omits the catalog version instead of accurately identifying version 1 catalogs as using weak SHA-1.

Anam Navied (@anamnavi) I think this comment makes sense. The GetCatalogHashAlgorithm throws a terminating error when the passed-in catalogVersion is neither 1 nor 2.

I submitted #28322 to fix it in GitHub. Will backport it in the next 7.6 release.

Tooling Impact
Customer Impact
Warns when generating or validating legacy SHA-1 file catalogs and recommends regenerating with -CatalogVersion 2. Catalog generation and validation remain supported for compatibility; hashing and validation behavior are unchanged.
Regression
REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.
This is not a regression.
Testing
No tests were added in the original diff. The backport cherry-picked without conflicts and the working tree is clean. Local tests were not run; backport CI must pass before merge.
Risk
REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.
Security-related catalog handling. The change is limited to advisory warnings when legacy catalog versions are used; hashing and validation logic are unchanged.
