CPANSA-Crypt-Random-2024-001

The makerandom program that comes with Crypt::Random adds module search paths in its shebang line, potentially leading to issues with unexpected modules being loaded

CVE-2025-1828 (2025-03-11)

Crypt::Random Perl package 1.05 through 1.55 may use rand() function, which is not cryptographically strong, for cryptographic functions. If the Provider is not specified and /dev/urandom or an Entropy Gathering Daemon (egd) service is not available Crypt::Random will default to use the insecure Crypt::Random::rand provider. In particular, Windows versions of perl will encounter this issue by default.
