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-2026-5088 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: JDEGUEST Apache::API::Password. 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-2026-5088/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5088/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-5088","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5088/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-5088","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r6g6-6h6f-xcmj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl password library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can predict password salts due to insecure random generation, potentially facilitating password cracking attacks against systems using this Perl library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CPANSec","cpe":[{"product":"apache\\","vendor":"jdeguest"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-338","name":"Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)"}],"description":"Apache::API::Password versions through 0.5.2 for Perl can generate insecure random values for salts.\n\nThe _make_salt and _make_salt_bcrypt methods will attept to load Crypt::URandom and then Bytes::Random::Secure to generate random bytes for the salt.
