CVE-2008-7278
Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—
The S/MIME feature in Open Ticket Request System (OTRS) before 2.2.5, and 2.3.x before 2.3.0-beta1, does not properly configure the RANDFILE environment variable for OpenSSL, which might make it easier for remote attackers to decrypt e-mail messages that had lower than intended entropy available for cryptographic operations, related to inability to write to the seeding file.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.98%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 80
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
