Fixed In Version:	Nodejs 16.17.1, Nodejs 18.9.1	Doc Type:	If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:	A vulnerability was found in NodeJS due to weak randomness in the WebCrypto keygen within the SecretKeyGenTraits::DoKeyGen() in src/crypto/crypto_keygen.cc. Node.js made calls to EntropySource() in SecretKeyGenTraits::DoKeyGen(). However, it does not check the return value and assumes the EntropySource() always succeeds, but it can and sometimes will fail. This flaw allows a remote attacker to decrypt sensitive information.

Description TEJ RATHI 2022-09-28 13:11:10 UTC

Node.js made calls to EntropySource() in SecretKeyGenTraits::DoKeyGen() in src/crypto/crypto_keygen.cc. However, it does not check the return value, it assumes EntropySource() always succeeds, but it can (and sometimes will) fail.

Impacts:
All versions of the 18.x and 16.x release lines.
