Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Versions of the package github.com/greenpau/caddy-security before 1.0.42 are vulnerable to Insecure Randomness due to using an insecure random number generation library which could possibly be predicted via a brute-force search. Attackers could use the potentially predictable nonce value used for authentication purposes in the OAuth flow to conduct OAuth replay attacks. In addition, insecure randomness is used while generating multifactor authentication (MFA) secrets and creating API keys in the database package.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-21495

Advisory: Use of Insufficiently Random Values in github.com/greenpau/caddy-security
IDs: CVE-2024-21495, GHSA-c7vf-m394-m4x4
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-21495 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:18 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/greenpau/caddy-security: affected <= 1.0.42

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/greenpau/caddy-security: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/greenpau/caddy-security.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-c7vf-m394-m4x4 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-c7vf-m394-m4x4 lists affected ranges: Go github.com/greenpau/caddy-security >=0 <=1.0.42)

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
