# CVE-2024-29868: Apache StreamPipes: Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) in Recovery Token Generation

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 6.0% , percentile 93: FIRST’s model estimates a 6.0% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 93% of all scored CVEs (elevated). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes org.apache.streampipes:streampipes-resource-management (Maven) >= 0.69.0, < 0.95.0, fixed in 0.95.0 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) vulnerability in Apache StreamPipes user self-registration and password recovery mechanism. This allows an attacker to guess the recovery token in a reasonable time and thereby to take over the attacked user's account. This issue affects Apache StreamPipes: from 0.69.0 through 0.93.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.95.0, which fixes the issue.

## Affected packages

- Maven `org.apache.streampipes:streampipes-resource-management` >= 0.69.0, < 0.95.0 → fixed: 0.95.0

## Affected products (CVE record)

- Apache Software Foundation Apache StreamPipes: 0.69.0 <= 0.93.0
- Apache Software Foundation Apache StreamPipes: 0.69.0 <= 0.93.0

## Severity

- CISA-ADP CVSS 3.1: 9.1 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N`
- GitHub CVSS 4.0: 9.1 `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable yes , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 6.00% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 93.
