Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-338: Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG), where the product uses a pseudo-random number generator (prng) in a security context, but the prng's algorithm is not cryptographically strong. In Stormpath/sdk, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

The vulnerability pertains to the usage of an insecure random number generator (RNG) in the "stormpath-sdk-php" library. Specifically, the issue is present in the generation of UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) version 4 within the codebase.
