CWE-1241—Use of Predictable Algorithm in Random Number Generator

名称

Use of Predictable Algorithm in Random Number Generator

描述

The device uses an algorithm that is predictable and generates a pseudo-random number.

Pseudo-random number generator algorithms are predictable because their registers have a finite number of possible states, which eventually lead to repeating patterns. As a result, pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) can compromise their randomness or expose their internal state to various attacks, such as reverse engineering or tampering.
