CVE-2024-52322 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. WebService::Xero 0.11 and earlier for Perl uses the rand() function as the default source of entropy, which is not cryptographically secure, for cryptographic functions. Specifically WebService::Xero uses the Data::Random library which specifically states that it is "Useful mostly for test programs". Data::Random uses the rand() function.. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
