CVE-2025-15618 PUBLISHED

Business::OnlinePayment::StoredTransaction versions through 0.01 for Perl uses an insecure secret key.

Business::OnlinePayment::StoredTransaction generates a secret key by using a MD5 hash of a single call to the built-in rand function, which is unsuitable for cryptographic use.

This key is intended for encrypting credit card transaction data.

Apply the patch that uses Crypt::URandom to generate a secret key.
