CVE-2022-23472

Passeo is an open source python password generator. Versions prior to 1.0.5 rely on the python `random` library for random value selection. The python `random` library warns that it should not be used for security purposes due to its reliance on a non-cryptographically secure random number generator. As a result a motivated attacker may be able to guess generated passwords. This issue has been addressed in version 1.0.5. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Summary
  • (es) Passeo es un generador de contraseñas de Python de código abierto. Las versiones anteriores a la 1.0.5 dependen de la librería `random` de Python para la selección de valores aleatorios. La librería "aleatoria" de Python advierte que no debe utilizarse por motivos de seguridad debido a que depende de un generador de números aleatorios no criptográficamente seguro. Como resultado, un atacante motivado puede adivinar las contraseñas generadas. Este problema se ha solucionado en la versión 1.0.5. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen. No se conocen workarounds para esta vulnerabilidad.
