Predictable SIF UUID Identifiers

Low
cclerget published GHSA-33m6-q9v5-62r7 May 10, 2021

Package

SIF

Affected versions

1.2.1

Patched versions

1.2.2

Description

Impact

The siftool new command produces predictable UUID identifiers due to insecure randomness in the version of the github.com/satori/go.uuid module used as a dependency.

Patches

A patch is available in version >= v1.2.2 of the module. Users are encouraged to upgrade.

Fixed by #90

Workarounds

Users passing CreateInfo struct should ensure the ID field is generated using a version of github.com/satori/go.uuid that is not vulnerable to this issue. Unfortunately, the latest tagged release is vulnerable to this issue. One way to obtain a non-vulnerable version is:

go get -u github.com/satori/go.uuid@v1.2.1-0.20180404165556-75cca531ea76
