Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Net::EasyTCP versions prior to 0.15

Description The issue concerns the use of Perl's built-in rand() function, which is not a strong random number generator, for generating cryptographic keys. This weakness can potentially lead to predictable keys.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.15, consider updating to version 0.15 or later to address the issue with the random number generator used for cryptographic keys. As a temporary workaround, consider implementing an alternative, cryptographically secure random number generator for key generation until the update can be applied.
