magento-lts: Use of Insufficiently Random Values
CVE-2026-128047 is a high-severity use of insufficiently random values vulnerability in magento-lts from OpenMage, 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 20.18.2, 21.0.0-beta3 as the first without the flaw, so updating magento-lts to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update magento-lts to 20.18.2 or 21.0.0-beta3, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
Affected products and versions
| Vendor | Product | Affected versions | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenMage | magento-lts | before 20.18.2; 21.0.0-beta1 up to, but not including, 21.0.0-beta3 | 20.18.2, 21.0.0-beta3 |

Official description
OpenMage magento-lts before 20.18.2 and 21.0.0-beta pre-releases before 21.0.0-beta3 generate customer email-confirmation keys with md5(uniqid()) and customer and administrator password-reset tokens with the non-cryptographic uniqHash(). Unauthenticated attackers can brute-force the roughly 20-bit confirmation key via the unrate-limited confirmAction endpoint to log in as pending customers, or predict administrator reset tokens after recovering generator state.

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).
