{"cve":"CVE-2022-23472","nvd":{"published":"2022-12-06T18:15:10.170","modified":"2026-06-17T04:30:11.603","status":"Modified","description":"Passeo is an open source python password generator. Versions prior to 1.0.5 rely on the python `random` library for random value selection. The python `random` library warns that it should not be used for security purposes due to its reliance on a non-cryptographically secure random number generator. As a result a motivated attacker may be able to guess generated passwords. This issue has been addressed in version 1.0.5. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-338"],"references":["https://github.com/ArjunSharda/Passeo/commit/8caa798b6bc4647dca59b2376204b6dc6176361a","https://github.com/ArjunSharda/Passeo/security/advisories/GHSA-mhhf-vgwh-fw9h","https://peps.python.org/pep-0506/","https://github.com/ArjunSharda/Passeo/commit/8caa798b6bc4647dca59b2376204b6dc6176361a","https://github.com/ArjunSharda/Passeo/security/advisories/GHSA-mhhf-vgwh-fw9h"],"products":["passeo_project:passeo"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:37:28.463369388+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-23472","score":0.00859,"percentile":0.58487,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-mhhf-vgwh-fw9h","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-mhhf-vgwh-fw9h","summary":"Passeo uses insecure random number generator","modified":"2024-10-09T20:24:57.419170Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"passeo","purl":"pkg:pypi/passeo","ranges":["<1.0.5"],"fixed":["1.0.5"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2022-42997","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2022-42997","summary":"","modified":"2023-11-08T04:08:18.746581Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"passeo","purl":"pkg:pypi/passeo","ranges":["<1.0.5"],"fixed":["1.0.5"]}]}],"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).
