Last modified
CVE-2026-8647 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Crypt::ScryptKDF versions through 0.010 for Perl uses insecure random number source when no CSPRNG module is available. The random_bytes function fell back to using the built-in rand() function when none of the Perl modules Crypt::PRNG, Crypt::OpenSSL::Random, Net::SSLeay, Crypt::Random, or Bytes::Random::Secure were available.. EPSS estimates a 0.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
