CVSS v3.1

9.1

Critical

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Net::NSCA::Client versions through 0.009002

Description Net::NSCA::Client for Perl utilizes an inadequate random number generator. Version 0.003 transitioned to using Data::Rand::Obscure instead of Crypt::Random for generating initialization vectors. Data::Rand::Obscure relies on Perl's built-in rand() function, which is not appropriate for cryptographic applications.

Recommendations Versions prior to 0.009002 should be updated.
