Last modified
CVE-2019-11495 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In Couchbase Server 5.1.1, the cookie used for intra-node communication was not generated securely. Couchbase Server uses erlang:now() to seed the PRNG which results in a small search space for potential random seeds that could then be used to brute force the cookie and execute code against a remote system. EPSS estimates a 2.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
