Plack-Middleware-Session before version 0.35 for Perl generates session ids insecurely
Plack-Middleware-Session before version 0.35 for Perl generates session ids insecurely.
The default session id generator returns a SHA-1 hash seeded with the built-in rand function, the epoch time, and the PID. The PID will come from a small set of numbers, and the epoch time may be guessed, if it is not leaked from the HTTP Date header. The built-in rand function is unsuitable for cryptographic usage.
Predicable session ids could allow an attacker to gain access to systems.

Users are advised to upgrade to Plack-Middleware-Session v0.35 or later.
Configurations
Workarounds
Users who are unable to upgrade are advised to change the sid_generator attribute of Plack::Session::State to a function that returns a securely generated session id based on a secure source of entropy from the system.

WWW::OAuth 1.000 and earlier for Perl uses insecure rand() function for cryptographic functions
WWW::OAuth 1.000 and earlier for Perl uses the rand() function as the default source of entropy, which is not cryptographically secure, for cryptographic functions.
