If that fails (for example, on systems without the device, such as Windows), then it will emit a warning that recommends the user install Crypt::URandom, and then return a string of random bytes generated by the built-in rand function, which is unsuitable for cryptographic applications.\n\nThis modules does not use the Crypt::URandom module, and installing it will not fix the problem.\n\nThe random bytes are used for generating an initialisation vector (IV) to encrypt the cookie.\n\nA predictable IV may make it easier for malicious users to decrypt and tamper with the session data that is stored in the cookie.","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","CWE-1204"],"references":["https://metacpan.org/release/JJNAPIORK/PAGI-Middleware-Session-Store-Cookie-0.001003/source/lib/PAGI/Middleware/Session/Store/Cookie.pm#L156-173","https://metacpan.org/release/JJNAPIORK/PAGI-Middleware-Session-Store-Cookie-0.001004/changes","http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/03/31/10"],"products":["jjnapiork:pagi\\"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:28:18.033120106+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-5087","score":0.00321,"percentile":0.25161,"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).
