Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::HTTP versions 1.018 and earlier

Description: The software generates nonces using the Perl Data::UUID library, which does not employ a strong cryptographic source for UUID generation. Data::UUID returns v3 UUIDs, which are derived from known information and are unsuitable for security purposes, as defined in RFC 9562. Nonces should be generated using a strong cryptographic source, as specified in RFC 7616.

Recommendations: Update Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::HTTP to a version later than 1.018.
