CVE-2026-47372 (2026-05-20)

Crypt::SaltedHash versions through 0.09 for Perl generate insecure random values for salts. These versions use the built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for cryptography.

CVE-2026-47373 (2026-05-20)

  • fix bug with failed regex and localization of $1
  • handle some uninitialized variables
  • RT Bug #78505 for Crypt-SaltedHash: Noisy tests (Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated)
  • RT Bug #85627 for Crypt-SaltedHash: [PATCH] POD fix
