CVE-2026-11702 Details
Description
Bytes::Random::Secure::Tiny versions through 1.011 for Perl share internal state across forked processes. When an object is initialised before forking, then the internal state for the PRNG is shared across processes and identical random streams will be produced. Secrets generated in multiprocess applications are predictable across processes.
A vulnerability exists in Bytes::Random::Secure::Tiny for Perl, specifically in versions through 1.011, where the internal state of the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) is shared across forked processes. This issue arises when an object is initialized before forking, leading to identical random streams in different processes. As a result, secrets generated in multi-process applications can become predictable.
Users can update to Bytes::Random::Secure::Tiny version 1.012 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
