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-2024-57854 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: DOUGDUDE Net::NSCA::Client. 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-2024-57854/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-57854/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-57854","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-57854/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-57854","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-98r5-r223-6xwf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl NSCA client library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"The Perl Net::NSCA::Client library uses a non-cryptographic random number generator, potentially weakening security for users relying on it for secure communications.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CPANSec","cpe":[{"product":"net\\","vendor":"dougdude"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-338","name":"Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)"}],"description":"Net::NSCA::Client versions through 0.009002 for Perl uses a poor random number generator.\n\nVersion v0.003 switched to use Data::Rand::Obscure instead of Crypt::Random for generation of a random initialisation vectors.\n\nData::Rand::Obscure uses Perl's built-in rand() function, which is not suitable for cryptographic functions.","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":"Net::NSCA::Client versions through 0.009002 for Perl uses a poor random number generator","id":"CVE-2024-57854","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"RDMA/siw: Remove direct link to net_device","id":"CVE-2024-57857"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"firmware: qcom: scm: smc: Handle missing SCM device","id":"CVE-2024-57852"},"products":["Net::NSCA::Client"],"published":"2026-03-05","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"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":"2026-03-05","vendors":["DOUGDUDE"]},"summary":"The Perl Net::NSCA::Client library uses a non-cryptographic random number generator, potentially weakening security for users relying on it for secure communications.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-57854/"}
