CVE-2025-1828

  1. OpenCVE
  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2025-1828
Crypt::Random Perl package 1.05 through 1.55 may use rand() function, which is not cryptographically strong, for cryptographic functions. If the Provider is not specified and /dev/urandom or an Entropy Gathering Daemon (egd) service is not available Crypt::Random will default to use the insecure Crypt::Random::rand provider. In particular, Windows versions of perl will encounter this issue by default.

Summary
  • (es) El paquete Crypt::Random Perl 1.05 a 1.55 puede utilizar la función rand(), que no es criptográficamente segura, para funciones criptográficas. Crypt::Random::rand 1.05 a 1.55 utiliza la función rand(). Si no se especifica el proveedor y /dev/urandom o un servicio Entropy Gathering Daemon (egd) no está disponible, Crypt::Random utilizará de forma predeterminada el proveedor inseguro Crypt::Random::rand. En particular, las versiones de Windows de Perl encontrarán este problema de forma predeterminada.
