CVE-2026-11625: CWE-335 Incorrect Usage of Seeds in Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) in DAVIDO Bytes::Random::Secure
Bytes::Random::Secure versions through 0.29 for Perl share internal state across forked processes. When an object is initialised before forking, or when the functional interface is used, then the internal state for the PRNG is shared across processes and identical random streams will be produced. Secrets generated in multiprocess applications are predictable across processes.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-11625 describes a weakness in the DAVIDO Bytes::Random::Secure Perl module (versions <=0.29) where the PRNG internal state is shared across forked processes. When an object is initialized before a fork or the functional interface is used, the PRNG state is duplicated, resulting in identical random sequences in child processes. This violates proper seeding practices (CWE-335) and leads to predictable secrets in multiprocess environments.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows attackers to predict secrets generated by the PRNG in multiprocess applications, potentially compromising confidentiality. The CVSS score of 7.5 (high) reflects the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact. There is no impact on integrity or availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, avoid initializing the PRNG before forking or using the functional interface in multiprocess applications to prevent state sharing.
