{
    "lastseen": "",
    "description": "Apache::API::Password versions through v0.5.2 for Perl can generate insecure random values for salts.\n\nThe _make_salt and _make_salt_bcrypt methods will attept to load Crypt::URandom and then Bytes::Random::Secure to generate random bytes for the salt.  If those modules are unavailable, it will simply return 16 bytes generated with Perl's built-in rand function.\n\nThe rand function is unsuitable for cryptographic use.\n\nThese salts are used for password hashing.",
