HIGH 8.1EPSS 1.58%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.58%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Use of cryptographically weak PRNG in the password recovery token generation of Revive Adserver < v4.2.1 causes a potential authentication bypass attack if an attacker exploits the password recovery functionality. In lib/OA/Dal/PasswordRecovery.php, the function generateRecoveryId() generates a password reset token that relies on the PHP uniqid function and consequently depends only on the current server time, which is often visible in an HTTP Date header.
