CVE-2026-5084: CWE-340 Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers in ASPEER WebDyne::Session

VulnerabilityCVE-2026-5084cvecve-2026-5084cwe-340cwe-338
Published: Mon May 11 2026 (05/11/2026, 06:37:19 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: ASPEER
Product: WebDyne::Session

Description

CVE-2026-5084 describes a vulnerability in WebDyne::Session for Perl up to version 2. 075 where session IDs are generated using an insecure method. The session ID generation relies on an MD5 hash seeded with the built-in rand() function, which is seeded with predictable 32-bit values derived from process ID, epoch time, and object reference address. This predictability makes the session IDs insecure and potentially guessable by attackers, risking unauthorized access. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. The vulnerability affects versions through 2. 075 and does not apply to versions 1. 042 and earlier, which are distributed separately. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Technical Analysis

WebDyne::Session versions up to 2.075 generate session identifiers by hashing an MD5 digest seeded with the Perl built-in rand() function. The rand() function is seeded with a 32-bit value based on process ID, epoch time, and object reference address, but this seeding does not provide sufficient entropy for cryptographic security. As a result, the session IDs are predictable, violating CWE-340 (Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers) and CWE-338 (Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator). This predictability could allow attackers to guess valid session IDs and gain unauthorized access. There is no CVSS score or official remediation level provided, and no patches are currently linked.

Potential Impact

Predictable session IDs can allow attackers to impersonate legitimate users by guessing or calculating valid session identifiers. This can lead to unauthorized access to user sessions and potentially sensitive information or system functions. However, there are no known exploits in the wild, and the impact depends on the deployment context and whether session ID guessing is feasible.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider implementing additional session management controls such as regenerating session IDs with a cryptographically secure random number generator outside of WebDyne::Session or restricting access to trusted networks. Avoid relying solely on the default session ID generation in affected versions.
