This security bulletin contains one medium risk vulnerability.
1) Predictable Seed in Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)
EUVDB-ID: #VU101681
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52616
CWE-ID:
CWE-337 - Predictable Seed in Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)
Exploit availability: No
