CVE-2025-15618
Business::OnlinePayment::StoredTransaction versions through 0.01 for Perl uses an insecure secret key
Overview
Description

Business::OnlinePayment::StoredTransaction versions through 0.01 for Perl uses an insecure secret key. Business::OnlinePayment::StoredTransaction generates a secret key by using a MD5 hash of a single call to the built-in rand function, which is unsuitable for cryptographic use. This key is intended for encrypting credit card transaction data.
