RELATE is a web-based courseware package. Prior to commit 2f68e16, RELATE is vulnerable to predictable token generation in auth.py's make_sign_in_key() function and exam.py's gen_ticket_code() function. This issue has been patched via commit 2f68e16.
The product uses insufficiently random numbers or values in a security context that depends on unpredictable numbers.
https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/330.html →Open in CWE collection →This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.
https://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/59.html →Open in CAPEC collection →In this attack, some asset (information, functionality, identity, etc.) is protected by a finite secret value. The attacker attempts to gain access to this asset by using trial-and-error to exhaustively explore all the possible secret values in the hope of finding the secret (or a value that is functionally equivalent) that will unlock the asset.
https://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/112.html →Open in CAPEC collection →An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.
