Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) due to improper sampling of randomness in the FRI sub-protocol. An attacker can undermine the integrity of the verification process by crafting proofs for arbitrary statements that are accepted as valid by the verifier. This is only exploitable if the protocol relies on the supplied verifier implementation and does not implement its own verifier.
