CVE-2026-13577 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:unstable libdancer2-perl to version 2.2.2-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libdancer2-perl package and not the libdancer2-perl package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
