It's worse than you think.  It's only a single md5 (the code you quoted is 
for generating activation keys).
Passwords are created for this plugin in the UserAuthComponent class:

public function makePassword($pass) {
   return md5($pass);
}

The developer has deliberately ignored the CakePHP security class - see the 
hash method:
http://api20.cakephp.org/class/security
http://api20.cakephp.org/view_source/security#line-86
