# CVE-2024-29868: Use of Cryptographically Weak PRNG in Recovery Token Generation
This repository contains the proof of concept related to **CVE-2024-29868** that affects Apache StreamPipes from v0.69.0 through 0.93.0.
**Description**: Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) vulnerability in Apache StreamPipes user self-registration and password recovery mechanism. This allows an attacker to guess the recovery token in a reasonable time and thereby to take over the attacked user's account.
This POC demonstrate how it's possible to take over the admin account of the affected application.
### Repository Structure:
- The `/lab-setup` directory contains the necessary files to spin up a local testing environment where it's possible to reproduce the vulnerabilility:
- `docker-compose.yml` file with all the necessary services.
- `.env` environment variables file.
- The `/detection` directory contains 2 Project Discovery's Nuclei templates:
- `apache-streampipes-detect.yaml`: template to detect Apache StreamPipes installations.
- `CVE-2024-29868.yaml`: template to identify CVE-2024-29868 vulnerability.
- The `/exploitation` directory contains the code to compile the cracker and instructions on how to use it.
Clone this repository and follow the `README.md` instructions in the respective directories.
