- Affected
- npm node-uuid < 1.4.4
- Fixed in
- 1.4.4· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Affected versions of node-uuid consistently fall back to using Math.random as an entropy source instead of crypto, which may result in guessable UUID's. Recommendation Update to version 1.4.4 or later.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.4.4 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
