DescriptionCVE.org

Mbed TLS before 3.6.6 and TF-PSA-Crypto before 1.1.0 misuse seeds in a Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG).

AnalysisAI

Mbed TLS before version 3.6.6 and TF-PSA-Crypto before version 1.1.0 contain a PRNG seed misuse vulnerability that enables information disclosure. An attacker who gains access to a seeded PRNG instance can potentially predict or replicate pseudo-random number generation, compromising cryptographic material confidentiality. The vulnerability affects cryptographic libraries used in embedded systems and IoT devices, with confirmed availability of vendor security advisories but no CVSS score assigned at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability exists in the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) implementation within Mbed TLS and TF-PSA-Crypto cryptographic libraries. These libraries provide cryptographic primitives for embedded and resource-constrained systems. The root cause involves improper seed handling in the PRNG initialization or state management, which falls under information disclosure risks in cryptographic implementations. PRNG seed misuse can allow attackers to reproduce the same sequence of random numbers if they obtain knowledge of the seed value or initial state, defeating the entropy guarantees that cryptographic protocols depend upon for generating unique session keys, nonces, and other security-critical random values.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Mbed TLS to version 3.6.6 or later, and upgrade TF-PSA-Crypto to version 1.1.0 or later. Applications dependent on these libraries should prioritize patching, particularly those handling sensitive cryptographic operations. Consult the official security advisories at https://mbed-tls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/security-advisories/mbedtls-security-advisory-2026-03-rng-cloning/ for vendor-specific guidance on patch deployment, configuration updates, and any interim mitigations. Organizations should verify that their embedded systems and IoT deployments are updated with patched versions of both libraries.
