Entropy Backdoor in text-qrcode

All versions of text-qrcode contain malicious code that overwrites the randomBytes method for the crypto module with a function that generates weak entropy. Instead of generating 32 bytes, the infected randomBytes will generate 3 bytes of entropy and hash them, resulting in a 32 byte value being...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions text-qrcode versions affected versions not specified Description The issue concerns malicious code in the text-qrcode module that overwrites the randomBytes method of the crypto module. This results in the generation of weak entropy, producing...

Malicious Package

text-qrcode package contains malicious code. The randomBytes method is overwritten with a function that generates a weak entropy of 3 bytes and subsequently hashed, which would allow an attacker to guess the random value in a short amount of time...
