CWE-330: Use of Insufficiently Random Values

ID CWE-330

Abstraction Class

Structure Simple

Status Stable

Number of CVEs 298

The product uses insufficiently random numbers or values in a security context that depends on unpredictable numbers.

When product generates predictable values in a context requiring unpredictability, it may be possible for an attacker to guess the next value that will be generated, and use this guess to impersonate another user or access sensitive information.
