The crypto-js package before 3.2.1 for Node.js generates random numbers by concatenating the string "0." with an integer, which makes the output more predictable than necessary.
CVE-2020-36732
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.3 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.9%, top 24% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
