{"id":"CVE-2026-5088","summary":"Apache::API::Password versions through 0.5.2 for Perl can generate insecure random values for salts","details":"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.  If those modules are unavailable, it will simply return 16 bytes generated with Perl's built-in rand function.\n\nThe rand function is unsuitable for cryptographic use.\n\nThese salts are used for password hashing.","modified":"2026-07-15T01:49:05.024126477Z","published":"2026-04-15T07:03:13.742Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-338"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/5xxx/CVE-2026-5088.json","cna_assigner":"CPANSec"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/04/15/4"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/04/15/5"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://cpan.org/modules"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://metacpan.org/pod/Crypt::URandom"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://metacpan.org/release/JDEGUEST/Apache2-API-v0.5.2/view/lib/Apache2/API/Password.pod"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/5xxx/CVE-2026-5088.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://metacpan.org/release/JDEGUEST/Apache2-API-v0.5.3/changes"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-5088"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://gitlab.com/jackdeguest/Apache2-API"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://security.metacpan.org/docs/guides/random-data-for-security.html"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://gitlab.com/deguest/Apache2-API","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"5d60bbd0de4d45d507c5ce586cc2667080d14aa3"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"0.5.2"}],"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD"}}],"versions":["v0.5.2"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-5088.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
