libdancer2-perl: Dancer2 versions before 2.2.0 for Perl generate insecure session ids when required CSPRNG modules are unavailable
CVE-2026-13577 is fixed in 3 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-13577, released July 20, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
Dancer2 versions before 2.2.0 for Perl generate insecure session ids when required CSPRNG modules are unavailable. Dancer2::Core::Role::SessionFactory::generate_id silently falls back to a built-in rand-derived session id unless both Math::Random::ISAAC::XS and Crypt::URandom are available. The fallback session id is generated from a SHA-1 hash of a call to the built-in rand function, the absolute path of the Dancer2::Core::Role::SessionFactory module, an internal counter, the process id, the module instance memory address, and a shuffled string of characters (using the List::Util::shuffle function, which also uses the built-in rand function). These are all low-entropy and easily guessed sources. The built-in rand() function is seeded with 32-bits and considered unsuitable for security applications. Predictable session ids could allow an attacker to gain access to systems.
