Summary

CVE-2026-94456 is a critical-severity Use of Insufficiently Random Values (CWE-330) vulnerability in Gadvisory (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.1 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Brute Force (T1110); ranked at the 42th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-5 (Authenticator Management) and SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Postiz generates security-sensitive credentials using `Math.random()` instead of a cryptographically secure source. The same helper is used for OAuth access tokens, authorization codes, client secrets, organization API keys, and PKCE verifiers, meaning these credentials depend entirely on V8’s deterministic xorshift128+…

more

PRNG state. An unauthenticated OAuth dynamic client registration endpoint exposes freshly generated client credentials, giving attackers enough consecutive PRNG output to reconstruct that internal state. Once recovered, they can deterministically derive past and future values produced by the same generator, potentially compromising credentials belonging to other users and organizations.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Authenticator management requires generation and distribution of values that cannot be derived from observable state.

Engineering principles applied during design and development include selection of cryptographically strong random number generation.

SC-12 requires proper cryptographic key establishment and management, which structurally mandates use of sufficient randomness for key generation.

SC-13 requires selection and implementation of approved cryptographic algorithms and methods, which inherently depend on and enforce sufficiently random values.

Session authenticity protection requires session identifiers or tokens that resist prediction from network or timing observations.

prevents

Cryptographic controls require use of approved, sufficiently random values for keys and nonces.

prevents

Secure SDLC processes include verification steps that can catch insufficient randomness but do not directly specify RNG requirements.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify cryptographically strong random number generation.

prevents

Secure engineering principles include selection of appropriate cryptographic primitives.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly prohibit use of weak or predictable random number generators.

finds

Security testing can detect weak randomness but does not prescribe the control itself.
