The PRNG implementation for the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module 1.1.1 does not perform auto-seeding during the FIPS self-test, which generates random data that is more predictable than expected and makes it easier for attackers to bypass protection mechanisms that rely on the randomness.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

2.31% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 83% of all scored CVEs.
