CVE-2026-9641
Medium · 5.3
CWE-916 Jun 12, 2026
Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl have a weak default algorithm and number of iterations
Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl have a weak default algorithm and number of iterations.
The default algorithm is HMAC-SHA1, which should only be used for legacy systems.
These versions default to using 1000 iterations.
Depending on the chosen algorithm, 220,000 to 1,400,000 iterations should be used.
CVE-2026-9638
High · 7.5
CWE-338 Jun 12, 2026
Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl generate insecure random values for salts
Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl generate insecure random values for salts.
These versions use the built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for cryptography.
CVE-2017-20240
Medium · 5.9
CWE-208 Jun 12, 2026
Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl are vulnerable to timing attacks
Crypt::PBKDF2 versions before 0.261630 for Perl are vulnerable to timing attacks.
These versions use Perl's built-in eq comparison. Discrepancies in timing could be used to guess the underlying derived-key.
