GateManager: Incorrect Usage of Seeds in Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2024-1579 is a high-severity incorrect usage of seeds in pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) vulnerability in GateManager from Secomea, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 11.2.624071020, 11.2.62.4971020 as the first without the flaw, so updating GateManager to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.52% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
