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-2024-58040 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: QWER Crypt::RandomEncryption. 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-2024-58040/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-58040/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-58040","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-58040/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-58040","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3fwq-4gv2-9v92"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl encryption library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"The Perl Crypt::RandomEncryption library uses an insecure random number generator, potentially allowing attackers to predict encryption keys and decrypt data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CPANSec","cpe":[{"product":"crypt\\","vendor":"qwer"}],"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)"},{"id":"CWE-331","name":"Insufficient Entropy"}],"description":"Crypt::RandomEncryption for Perl version 0.01 uses insecure rand() function during encryption.","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":"Crypt::RandomEncryption for Perl uses insecure rand() function during encryption","id":"CVE-2024-58040","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Smolder versions through 1.51 for Perl uses insecure rand() function for cryptographic functions","id":"CVE-2024-58041"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Net::Dropbox::API 1.9 and earlier for Perl uses insecure rand() function for cryptographic functions","id":"CVE-2024-58036"},"products":["Crypt::RandomEncryption"],"published":"2025-09-29","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":"2025-09-30","vendors":["QWER"]},"summary":"The Perl Crypt::RandomEncryption library uses an insecure random number generator, potentially allowing attackers to predict encryption keys and decrypt data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-58040/"}
