GHSA-848F-MPH5-9PM9
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-06-07 22:27 – Updated: 2024-06-07 22:27In Zend Framework, Zend_Captcha_Word (v1) and Zend\Captcha\Word (v2) generate a "word" for a CAPTCHA challenge by selecting a sequence of random letters from a character set. Prior to this advisory, the selection was performed using PHP's internal array_rand() function. This function does not generate sufficient entropy due to its usage of rand() instead of more cryptographically secure methods such as openssl_pseudo_random_bytes(). This could potentially lead to information disclosure should an attacker be able to brute force the random number generation.

GHSA-8C69-R38J-RPFJ
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-01-25 19:31 – Updated: 2023-02-07 15:48Impact
An issue was discovered in Rancher versions up to and including 2.6.9 and 2.7.0, where the cattle-token secret, used by the cattle-cluster-agent, is predictable. Even after the token is regenerated, it will have the same value. This issue is not present in Rancher 2.5 releases.
The cattle-token is used by Rancher's cattle-cluster-agent to connect to the Kubernetes API of Rancher provisioned downstream clusters. The problem occurs because the cattle-token secret does not use any random value in its composition, which causes it to always be regenerated with the same value. This can pose a serious problem if the token is compromised and needs to be recreated for security purposes.
The usage of the cattle-token by an unauthorized user allows to escalate privileges to the cluster owner of the affected downstream cluster. It does not allow access to Rancher's own local cluster (the cluster where Rancher is provisioned).
Workarounds
In case it is not possible to promptly update to a patched version, a workaround is to use the rotate script provided in the public security advisory CVE-2021-36782 / GHSA-g7j7-h4q8-8w2f, which facilitates the rotation and creation of a new unique downstream cluster token.
Patches
Patched versions include releases 2.6.10, 2.7.1 and later versions.
After upgrading to one of the patched versions, it is highly recommended to rotate the cattle-token in downstream clusters to guarantee that a new random token will be safely regenerated.
The procedure below can rotate the cattle-token and should be executed in each downstream cluster provisioned by Rancher. It is recommended to first test this process in an appropriate development/testing environment.
# Verify the current secret before rotating it
$ kubectl describe secrets cattle-token -n cattle-system
# Delete the secret
$ kubectl delete secrets cattle-token -n cattle-system
# Restart the cattle-cluster-agent deployment
$ kubectl rollout restart deployment/cattle-cluster-agent -n cattle-system
# Confirm that a new and different secret was generated
$ kubectl describe secrets cattle-token -n cattle-system

GHSA-8Q6V-474H-WHGG
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-08-06 17:11 – Updated: 2025-08-07 15:11Impact
A protocol compliance bug in thinbus-srp-npm versions prior to 2.0.1 causes the client to generate a fixed 252 bits of entropy instead of the intended bit length of the safe prime (defaulted to 2048 bits). RFC 5054 states in section 2.5.4 Client Key Exchange
The client key exchange message carries the client's public value (A). The client calculates this value as A = g^a % N, where a is a random number that SHOULD be at least 256 bits in length.
The client public value is being generated from a private value that is 4 bits below the specification. This reduces the protocol's designed security margin it is now practically exploitable. The servers full sized 2048 bit random number is used to create the shared session key and password proof.
Patches
The issue is fixed in versions >= 2.0.1
Workarounds
It is possible to patch a legacy version:
// WRONG
var hexLength = this.toHex(N).length;
// CORRECT
var hexLength = this.toHex(this.N()).length;

GHSA-8XHV-GQM4-3W99
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-06-07 22:26 – Updated: 2024-06-07 22:26We discovered several methods used to generate random numbers in ZF1 that potentially used insufficient entropy. These random number generators are used in the following method calls:
Zend_Ldap_Attribute::createPassword
Zend_Form_Element_Hash::_generateHash
Zend_Gdata_HttpClient::filterHttpRequest
Zend_Filter_Encrypt_Mcrypt::_srand
Zend_OpenId::randomBytes
In each case, the methods were using rand() or mt_rand(), neither of which can generate cryptographically secure values. This could potentially lead to information disclosure should an attacker be able to brute force the random number generation.
Moreover, we discovered a potential security issue in the usage of the openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() function in Zend_Crypt_Math::randBytes, reported in PHP BUG #70014, and the security implications reported in a discussion on the random_compat library.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-04-30 18:17 – Updated: 2024-02-15 03:30ValiCert Enterprise Validation Authority (EVA) Administration Server 3.3 through 4.2.1 uses insufficiently random data to (1) generate session tokens for HSMs using the C rand function, or (2) generate certificates or keys using /dev/urandom instead of another source which blocks when the entropy pool is low, which could make it easier for local or remote attackers to steal tokens or certificates via brute force guessing.

Mitigation
Determine the necessary entropy to adequately provide for randomness and predictability. This can be achieved by increasing the number of bits of objects such as keys and seeds.
CAPEC-59: Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.
