CVE-2024-57854 (2026-03-05)

Net::NSCA::Client versions through 0.009002 for Perl uses a poor random number generator. Version v0.003 switched to use Data::Rand::Obscure instead of Crypt::Random for generation of a random initialisation vectors. Data::Rand::Obscure uses Perl's built-in rand() function, which is not suitable for cryptographic functions.

Changes for version 0.004

  • Modified t/send_nsca.t test so that the non-present required modules for the utility will not cause the entire module to fail.
