An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-40762 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SonicWall SonicOS. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40762/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40762/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-40762","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40762/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-40762","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cpr8-m35v-9vv2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SonicWall SonicOS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can predict SSLVPN authentication tokens due to weak PRNG usage, potentially bypassing authentication on SonicWall devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sonicwall","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-338","name":"Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)"}],"description":"Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) in the SonicOS SSLVPN authentication token generator that, in certain cases, can be predicted by an attacker potentially resulting in authentication bypass.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Weak cryptography in SonicOS","id":"CVE-2024-40762","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in SMA100","id":"CVE-2024-40763"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Apache Answer: Avatar URL leaked user email addresses","id":"CVE-2024-40761"},"products":["SonicOS"],"published":"2025-01-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-09","vendors":["SonicWall"]},"summary":"Attackers can predict SSLVPN authentication tokens due to weak PRNG usage, potentially bypassing authentication on SonicWall devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40762/"}
