tid-317
Vulnerability from emb3d
Description

If the device does not generate sufficiently random cryptographic primitives, a threat actor could predict or brute-force guess a key to either gain unauthorized access to the device or decrypt a connection. Cryptographic keys that are not generated with random “seed” information, including from Pseudo-Random Number Generators (PRNG), will lack sufficient entropy. For example, researchers have demonstrated that a large number of Internet exposed devices with TLS or SSH services utilized the same RSA moduli, which could be then used to determine the device’s private key and then used to remotely authenticate with the device.

CWE
  • CWE-331: Insufficient Entropy (Base)
  • CWE-338: Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) (Base)
