GHSA-V9R4-9W2C-2XCP

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-12 18:31 – Updated: 2026-06-13 06:30

Details

Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl have a weak default algorithm and number of iterations.

The default algorithm is HMAC-SHA1, which should only be used for legacy systems.

These versions default to using 1000 iterations.

Depending on the chosen algorithm, 220,000 to 1,400,000 iterations should be used.

Severity

5.3 (Medium)
