CVE-2024-56830

Summary

CVE-2024-56830 is a vulnerability affecting the Net::EasyTCP package versions 0.15 to 0.26 used in Perl. The issue lies in the package's reliance on Perl's built-in rand() function for generating random numbers, which may not provide sufficient security if no strong randomization module is present. An attacker can exploit this weakness to predict or manipulate the random numbers used during the encryption process, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data breaches. It is recommended that users update to the latest version of Net::EasyTCP, which includes improvements to the random number generation process, to mitigate this risk.
