NOTE: this issue has been SPLIT from CVE-2007-6755 because the vendor announcement did not state a specific technical rationale for a change in the algorithm; thus, CVE cannot reach a conclusion that a CVE-2007-6755 concern was the reason, or one of the reasons, for this change.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-310"],"references":["http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/09/stop-using-nsa-influence-code-in-our-product-rsa-tells-customers/","http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2013/09/rsa-warns-developers-against-its-own.html","http://stream.wsj.com/story/latest-headlines/SS-2-63399/SS-2-332655/","http://threatpost.com/in-wake-of-latest-crypto-revelations-everything-is-suspect","http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/09/stop-using-nsa-influence-code-in-our-product-rsa-tells-customers/"],"products":["emc:rsa_bsafe_toolkits","emc:rsa_data_protection_manager"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:33:06.232976534+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2013-6078","score":0.01011,"percentile":0.63164,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
