Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in node-uuid up to 1.4.3 and classified as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code block of the component GUID Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a entropy vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-331. The product uses an algorithm or scheme that produces insufficient entropy, leaving patterns or clusters of values that are more likely to occur than others. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

node-uuid before 1.4.4 uses insufficiently random data to create a GUID, which could make it easier for attackers to have unspecified impact via brute force guessing.

The weakness was published 04/22/2023. It is possible to read the advisory at nodesecurity.io. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2015-8851 since 04/13/2016. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.
