Answer in brief
CVE-2026-13082 records a Medium severity (CVSS 5.3) vulnerability in GD::SecurityImage versions through 1.75 for Perl use rand to generate secrets. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps BURAK/GD::SecurityImage (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 5.3. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

GD::SecurityImage versions through 1.75 for Perl use rand to generate secrets. The random method creates the challenge text used for the CAPTCHA by sampling characters from an array using Perl's built-in rand function, and generates a (by default) six-character string. The built-in rand function is unsuitable for security applications because it is predictable and reversible.
