CVE-2026-8503

CVE-2026-8503 affects Apache::Session::Generate::SHA256 in Perl (versions before 1.3.19). The default ID generator creates a SHA-256 hash of sources with low entropy (rand(), epoch, PID) and hashes that result again, making session IDs predictable. This predictable randomness can enable an attack...
