| Use of a cryptographically weak random number generator in the GenerateRandomPassword function in bosh-windows-stemcell-builder allows a remote attacker to brute-force the resulting SSH login via TCP/22.
Affected versions: bosh-windows-stemcell-builder versions prior to v2019.98. |
| WebDyne::Session versions before 3.003_704 for Perl generate the session id insecurely.
The session handler generates the session id from an MD5 hash seeded with a call to the built-in rand() function. The rand function is passed a maximum value based on the process id, the epoch time and the reference address of the object, but this information will have no effect on the overall quality of the seed of the message digest.
The rand function is seeded by 32-bits and is predictable. It is considered unsuitable for cryptographic purposes.
Predictable session ids could allow an attacker to gain access to systems.
Note that WebDyne::Session versions 1.042 and earlier appear to be in separate distributions from WebDyne. |
| When enabling Spring Boot DevTools support for a remote application target (for example a Docker container or Cloud Foundry app) from the Spring Tools Boot Dashboard, Spring Tools generates a shared secret that authenticates DevTools remote-restart uploads to the deployed application. This secret was generated using a non-cryptographic pseudo-random number generator rather than a cryptographically secure source of randomness.
Affected Spring Products and Versions:
Spring Tools for Eclipse: 5.2.0 and earlier |
| ExtremeXOS (EXOS) uses a challenge-response mechanism to authorize access to the privileged debug-mode function. The challenge value is generated using an insufficiently random source, which under certain conditions may allow an attacker to predict the expected response and activate debug-mode without authorization. Depending on device configuration and version, this may enable escalation to root-level access and persistent modification of the device software stack. Exploitation requires either a valid low-privilege account on the device (remote scenario) or physical serial console access (local scenario). This vulnerability is distinct from CVE-2017-14329, which addressed a different issue involving Python script privileges.
Extreme would like to thank Hadrien Barral (Université Gustave Eiffel) and Georges-Axel Jaloyan (French Ministry of the Interior) for responsible disclosure of their findings. |
| A flaw was found in librest. The PKCE implementation for OAuth authorization uses the GRand function from the GLib API, a cryptographically insecure pseudo-random number generator. Because the generated "code verifier" lacks sufficient cryptographic entropy, a malicious actor can reverse-engineer the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) seed to predict or reconstruct the code verifier string, allowing an attacker to bypass PKCE protections and successfully impersonate the client during the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow. |
| AdGuard Home is a network-wide software for blocking ads and tracking. Prior to 0.107.75, AdGuard Home's client-triggered DoQ forwarding path to a udp:// upstream reduced backend UDP DNS state by producing dns_id=0 or txid=0 and exposed a quoted-port ICMP source-port oracle, weakening DNS response matching for forwarded queries. This issue is fixed in version 0.107.75. |
| IBM PowerVM Hypervisor FW1110.00 through FW1110.20, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.71 could allow an attacker with physical access to the Transparent Memory Encryption (TME) hardware to decrypt encrypted memory due to insufficient cryptographic entropy. |
| Use of Insufficiently Random Values, Protection Mechanism Failure vulnerability in Apache Wicket.
This issue affects Apache Wicket: from 9.0.0 through 9.23.0, from 10.0.0 through 10.9.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.10.0, which fixes the issue. |
| Joomla Extension - regularlabs.com - Insecure login URL keys in IP login extension - Persistent URL login keys were also generated using a non-cryptographic random generator with insufficient entropy. |
| Rejetto HFS 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 derives its session-cookie signing key from the non-cryptographic Math.random() generator and discloses outputs of the same generator to unauthenticated clients during login. A remote attacker can collect a small number of login responses, reconstruct the generator's state, recover the signing key, and forge a valid administrator session cookie, leading to full administrative access and remote code execution via the server_code configuration feature. |
| A bug in the entropy initialization for SiWx917 causes the DRBG to use a predictable seed. As such, all random numbers generated in the Matter code use the same stream of numbers. This vulnerability was discovered after the impacted repository was already deprecated. |
| Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers vulnerability in Erlang/OTP kernel (inet_res, inet_db modules) allows DNS Cache Poisoning.
The built-in DNS resolver (inet_res) uses a sequential, process-global 16-bit transaction ID for UDP queries and does not implement source port randomization. Response validation relies almost entirely on this ID, making DNS cache poisoning practical for an attacker who can observe one query or predict the next ID. This conflicts with RFC 5452 recommendations for mitigating forged DNS answers.
inet_res is intended for use in trusted network environments and with trusted recursive resolvers. Earlier documentation did not clearly state this deployment assumption, which could lead users to deploy the resolver in environments where spoofed DNS responses are possible.
This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/kernel/src/inet_db.erl and lib/kernel/src/inet_res.erl.
This issue affects OTP from OTP 17.0 before OTP 28.4.2, OTP 27.3.4.10 and OTP 26.2.5.19, corresponding to kernel from 3.0 before 10.6.2, 10.2.7.4 and 9.2.4.11. |
| GD::SecurityImage versions through 1.75 for Perl use rand to generate secrets.
The random method creates the challenge text used for the CAPTCHA by sampling characters from an array using Perl's built-in rand function, and generates a (by default) six-character string.
The built-in rand function is unsuitable for security applications because it is predictable and reversible. |
| The urwid web display backend (urwid/display/web.py) generates web session identifiers (urwid_id) in Screen.start() by concatenating two random.randrange(10**9) calls that use Python's Mersenne Twister PRNG, which is not cryptographically secure. Each call consumes approximately 30 bits of PRNG state, and the Mersenne Twister internal state is approximately 19,937 bits, so an attacker who observes approximately 334 session IDs (for example via the X-Urwid-ID HTTP response header) can fully reconstruct the internal state and predict all past and future session IDs (Path B). The same identifier is also used as the filename of a FIFO created in the world-listable /tmp directory (for example /tmp/urwid375487765176907690.in), so any local user on the host can list /tmp to enumerate active session tokens directly (Path A). With a valid session ID, an attacker can read the victim's terminal screen via the polling endpoint, inject keystrokes into the victim's session (yielding OS-level code execution with the session owner's privileges if the session runs a shell), and inject exit sequences or flood the FIFO to terminate or crash the session. A prior Bandit S311 warning on this usage was suppressed with # noqa: S311 rather than fixed |
| Crypt::Password versions through 0.28 for Perl generate insecure random values for salts.
These versions use the built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for cryptography. |
| Dancer2 versions through 2.1.0 for Perl generate insecure session ids when required CSPRNG modules are unavailable.
Dancer2::Core::Role::SessionFactory::generate_id silently falls back to a built-in rand-derived session id unless both Math::Random::ISAAC::XS and Crypt::URandom are available.
The fallback session id is generated from a SHA-1 hash of a call to the built-in rand function, the absolute path of the Dancer2::Core::Role::SessionFactory module, an internal counter, the process id, the module instance memory address, and a shuffled string of characters (using the List::Util::shuffle function, which also uses the built-in rand function).
These are all low-entropy and easily guessed sources.
The built-in rand() function is seeded with 32-bits and considered unsuitable for security applications.
Predictable session ids could allow an attacker to gain access to systems. |
| Net::BitTorrent versions before 2.1.0 for Perl generate the MSE Diffie-Hellman private key with a non-cryptographic PRNG.
The MSE (Message Stream Encryption) handshake derives its 160-bit Diffie-Hellman private key from Perl's rand(), a non-cryptographic drand48-class generator seeded once per process, in KeyExchange.pm. The shared secret and the RC4 keys derived from it (the SHA-1 of "keyA" or "keyB", the shared secret, and the infohash) therefore depend entirely on a predictable PRNG. The same handshake sends, in cleartext, random padding drawn from the same rand() sequence in _random_pad, immediately after the public key and the private-key draw.
A passive observer of the handshake recovers the PRNG state from the cleartext padding, reconstructs the private key, computes the shared secret from the peer's public key on the wire, derives the RC4 keys, and decrypts the connection, defeating the passive-observation obfuscation MSE provides. |
| BigBlueButton is an open-source virtual classroom. Prior to 3.0.21, bbb-web generated conference sessionToken values with insufficiently secure randomness in bbb-common-web/src/main/java/org/bigbluebutton/api/Util.java and bigbluebutton-web/grails-app/controllers/org/bigbluebutton/web/controllers/ApiController.groovy, allowing a session user to predict other users' conference session tokens and impersonate them. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.21. |
| A vulnerability in Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager's format-specific API key generation may allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to repository operations as a targeted user. A format-specific API key realm (NuGet API Key, Docker Bearer Token, or npm Bearer Token) must be enabled and the targeted user must have an active API key for this vulnerability to be exploitable. |
| EEPROM firmware on Raspberry Pi 5 and Compute Module 5 devices produced non-random KASLR and RNG seed values. This resulted in consistent kernel addresses across boots and devices, potentially making it easier to exploit other vulnerabilities. Additionally, the low-quality RNG seed may affect the quality of random numbers or delay booting while sufficient entropy is accumulated from other sources. |
