What is CVE-2025-68932?
CVE-2025-68932 is a low-severity vulnerability in FreshRSS, published on 26 Dec 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
FreshRSS is a free, self-hostable RSS aggregator. Prior to version 1.28.0, FreshRSS uses cryptographically weak random number generators (mt_rand() and uniqid()) to generate remember-me authentication tokens and challenge-response nonces. This allows attackers to predict valid session tokens, leading to account takeover through persistent session hijacking. The remember-me tokens provide permanent authentication and are the sole credential for "keep me logged in" functionality. This issue has been patched in version 1.28.0.
