EZCast Pro II: Use of Insufficiently Random Values
CVE-2025-13955 is a critical-severity use of insufficiently random values vulnerability in EZCast Pro II from EZCast, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 out of 10. It can be exploited from the same local network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 1.17478.177 as the first without the flaw, so updating EZCast Pro II to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.2% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update EZCast Pro II to 1.17478.177 or a later version.
Affected products and versions
| Vendor | Product | Affected versions | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| EZCast | EZCast Pro II | before 1.17478.177 | 1.17478.177 |

The underlying weakness: Use of Insufficiently Random Values
The product uses insufficiently random numbers or values in a security context that depends on unpredictable numbers.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use a well-vetted algorithm that is currently considered to be strong by experts in the field, and select well-tested implementations with adequate length seeds. In general, if a pseudo-random number generator is not advertised as being cryptographically secure, then it is probably a statistical PRNG and should not be used in security-sensitive contexts. Pseudo-random number generators can produce predictable numbers if the generator is known and the seed can be guessed. A 256-bit seed is a good starting point for producing a random enough number.
- Consider a PRNG that re-seeds itself as needed from high quality pseudo-random output sources, such as hardware devices.
- Use products or modules that conform to FIPS 140-2 to avoid obvious entropy problems. Consult FIPS 140-2 Annex C (Approved Random Number Generators).
