Weakness (CWE)

CWE-341: Predictable from Observable State

Base Draft

A number or object is predictable based on observations that the attacker can make about the state of the system or network, such as time, process ID, etc.

How to prevent it (3 mitigations)
  1. Implementation

    Increase the entropy used to seed a PRNG.

  2. Architecture and Design, Requirements

    Use products or modules that conform to FIPS 140-2 [REF-267] to avoid obvious entropy problems. Consult FIPS 140-2 Annex C ("Approved Random Number Generators").

  3. Implementation

    Use a PRNG that periodically re-seeds itself using input from high-quality sources, such as hardware devices with high entropy. However, do not re-seed too frequently, or else the entropy source might block.

    Predictable Object Identifier vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver AS Java (IIOP Service)

    Due to the lack of randomness in assigning Object Identifiers in the SAP NetWeaver AS JAVA IIOP service, an authenticated attacker with low privileges could predict the identifiers by conducting a brute force search. By leveraging knowledge of several identif…
