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-2026-9638 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ARODLAND Crypt::PBKDF2. 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-2026-9638/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-9638/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-9638","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-9638/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-9638","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-9638","GHSA-3rw7-pf56-37cv","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-9638"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl PBKDF2 library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"The Perl Crypt::PBKDF2 library uses predictable random values for salts, weakening password hashing security and potentially aiding brute-force attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CPANSec","cpe":[],"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":"Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl generate insecure random values for salts.\n\nThese versions use the built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for cryptography.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl generate insecure random values for salts","id":"CVE-2026-9638","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Authenticated Denial of Service via Malicious Backup Tarball in LXD","id":"CVE-2026-9639"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"CompactLogix® 5380 / ControlLogix® 5580 - Multiple Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-9637"},"products":["Crypt::PBKDF2"],"published":"2026-06-12","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-12","vendors":["ARODLAND"]},"summary":"The Perl Crypt::PBKDF2 library uses predictable random values for salts, weakening password hashing security and potentially aiding brute-force attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-9638/"}
