CVE-2024-56370 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Net::Xero 0.044 and earlier for Perl uses the rand() function as the default source of entropy, which is not cryptographically secure, for cryptographic functions. Specifically Net::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 0.31% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
