Hi, The following vulnerability was published for libapache-session-perl. CVE-2025-40931[0]: | Apache::Session::Generate::MD5 versions through 1.94 for Perl create | insecure session id. Apache::Session::Generate::MD5 generates | session ids insecurely. The default session id generator returns a | MD5 hash seeded with the built-in rand() function, the epoch time, | and the PID. The PID will come from a small set of numbers, and the | epoch time may be guessed, if it is not leaked from the HTTP Date | header. The built-in rand function is unsuitable for cryptographic | usage. Predicable session ids could allow an attacker to gain access | to systems. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
