Zendframework Potential Information Disclosure and Insufficient Entropy vulnerability
Published 7 Jun 2024 · Updated 4 Dec 2024
Affected package
- Affected
- >=1.12.0 <1.12.17
- Fixed in
- 1.12.17
composer require zendframework/zendframework1:^1.12.17Details
In Zend Framework, Zend_Captcha_Word (v1) and Zend\Captcha\Word (v2) generate a "word" for a CAPTCHA challenge by selecting a sequence of random letters from a character set. Prior to this advisory, the selection was performed using PHP's internal array_rand() function. This function does not generate sufficient entropy due to its usage of rand() instead of more cryptographically secure methods such as openssl_pseudo_random_bytes(). This could potentially lead to information disclosure should an attacker be able to brute force the random number generation.
Is GHSA-848f-mph5-9pm9 in any of your client repos?
Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected zendframework/zendframework1, and gives you the command that fixes it.
