CVE-2026-5082: CWE-340 Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers in TOKUHIROM Amon2::Plugin::Web::CSRFDefender

Published: Wed Apr 08 2026 (04/08/2026, 05:48:43 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: TOKUHIROM
Product: Amon2::Plugin::Web::CSRFDefender

Description

CVE-2026-5082 affects Amon2::Plugin::Web::CSRFDefender versions 7. 00 through 7. 03 for Perl, where the module generates insecure session IDs. The vulnerability arises because if /dev/urandom is unavailable, the session ID generation falls back to a SHA-1 hash seeded with the built-in rand() function, process ID, and epoch time, which are predictable or guessable values. This weak randomness can lead to predictable session identifiers. The module has been deprecated by its author. No official patch or remediation is currently documented.

Technical Analysis

Amon2::Plugin::Web::CSRFDefender versions 7.00 through 7.03 generate session IDs insecurely when /dev/urandom is not accessible. The fallback method uses a SHA-1 hash seeded with the built-in rand() function, process ID (PID), and high-resolution epoch time. Since the PID is from a small range and the epoch time may be inferred (e.g., from HTTP Date headers), the session IDs can be predicted. The built-in rand() function is not cryptographically secure, making the session ID generation vulnerable to prediction. Earlier versions before 7.00 were also vulnerable due to a related issue (CVE-2025-15604). The module is deprecated, and no official fix or patch has been provided.

Potential Impact

The vulnerability allows attackers to predict session IDs generated by the affected module under certain conditions, potentially undermining session integrity. However, the CVSS score of 5.3 (medium severity) and vector indicate no confidentiality or integrity impact, only a potential availability impact. There are no known exploits in the wild. The module's deprecation suggests it may no longer be maintained or recommended for use.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or remediation is currently available for this vulnerability. Since the module is deprecated, users should consider migrating to alternative, actively maintained CSRF defense solutions that use secure random number generation. Avoid relying on this module for session ID generation, especially in environments where /dev/urandom might be unavailable. Monitor vendor advisories for any future updates or recommendations.
