Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.33%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Business::OnlinePayment::StoredTransaction versions through 0.01 for Perl uses an insecure secret key. Business::OnlinePayment::StoredTransaction generates a secret key by using a MD5 hash of a single call to the built-in rand function, which is unsuitable for cryptographic use. This key is intended for encrypting credit card transaction data.
