Summary
The __construct function in Framework/Encryption/Crypt.php in Magento 2 uses the PHP rand function to generate a random number for the initialization vector, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by guessing the value.
Exploit prediction (EPSS)
0.85% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 58% of all scored CVEs.
