Vulnerability CVE-2018-12975


Published: 2018-09-24   Modified: 2018-09-25

Description:
The random() function of the smart contract implementation for CryptoSaga, an Ethereum game, generates a random value with publicly readable variables such as timestamp, the current block's blockhash, and a private variable (which can be read with a getStorageAt call). Therefore, attackers can precompute the random number and manipulate the game (e.g., get powerful characters or get critical damages).

Type:

CWE-338

(Use of Cryptographically Weak PRNG)
