Real, but low real-world risk
A genuine vulnerability on paper, but EPSS shows little real-world exploitation — the base score may overstate urgency. This is not the same as a false positive.

Authen::TOTP versions before 0.1.1 for Perl generate secrets using rand. Secrets were generated using Perl's built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for security usage.

This scores high on paper (CVSS 7.5) but the real-world signal is low. It is not in CISA KEV and no public exploit was found, and near-term exploitation looks unlikely (EPSS about 0%). Verify your own exposure before treating it as urgent. It is reachable over the network with no authentication and no user interaction, which is the most dangerous profile. Not an emergency for most teams, but patch it in your normal cycle and check whether the affected component is actually exposed in your setup.

EEPROM firmware on Raspberry Pi 5 and Compute Module 5 devices produced non-random KASLR and RNG seed values. This resulted in consistent kernel addresses across boots and devices, potentially making it easier to exploit other vulnerabilities. Additionally, the low-quality RNG seed may affect the quality of random numbers or delay booting while sufficient entropy is accumulated from other sources.
