CVE-2026-46474: CWE-331 Insufficient Entropy in TEODESIAN Trog::TOTP
CVE-2026-46474 identifies an insufficient entropy vulnerability in TEODESIAN's Trog::TOTP Perl module versions before 1. 006. The module generates secrets using Perl's built-in rand function, which is predictable and not suitable for cryptographic security. This weakness may reduce the unpredictability of generated one-time passwords, potentially weakening authentication security. There is no confirmed patch or official remediation available at this time. No known exploits are reported in the wild. Users should consult the vendor advisory for updates on remediation status.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2026-46474 affects Trog::TOTP versions prior to 1.006, where secrets are generated using Perl's built-in rand function. This function does not provide sufficient entropy for cryptographic purposes, leading to predictable secret generation. This issue is classified under CWE-331 (Insufficient Entropy). No CVSS score or vendor advisory with patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
The use of a predictable random number generator for secret generation can compromise the security of one-time passwords generated by Trog::TOTP. This may allow attackers to predict or reproduce secrets, undermining authentication mechanisms relying on these secrets. However, no known exploits have been reported, and the exact impact depends on the deployment context.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should avoid using affected versions or consider implementing alternative TOTP solutions that use cryptographically secure random number generators.
