CVE-2026-6146
Last modified
CVE-2026-6146 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. Amazon::Credentials versions through 1.2.0 for Perl uses rand to generate encryption keys. Amazon::Credentials stores credentials in an obfuscated form to prevent access to the secrets from a data dump of the object. Before version 1.3.0, the secrets were encrypted using a 64-bit key that was generated using the built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for cryptography.. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
