Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.28%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Maypole versions from 2.10 through 2.13 for Perl generates session ids insecurely. The session id is seeded with the system time (which is available from HTTP response headers), a call to the built-in rand() function, and the PID.
