DescriptionNVD

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.

AnalysisAI

Amazon::Credentials for Perl versions through 1.2.0 uses the predictable built-in rand() function to generate 64-bit encryption keys for credential obfuscation, allowing attackers to recover stored credentials through key prediction rather than cryptographic attack. Affects Perl applications that depend on this library to protect AWS credentials and similar secrets in memory or serialized objects. …
