GHSA-23RF-WQ7X-GVQ7

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-07 15:31 – Updated: 2025-04-07 21:32

Details

WebService::Xero 0.11 and earlier for Perl uses the rand() function as the default source of entropy, which is not cryptographically secure, for cryptographic functions.

Specifically WebService::Xero uses the Data::Random library which specifically states that it is "Useful mostly for test programs". Data::Random uses the rand() function.

Severity ?

5.5 (Medium)
