What is CVE-2022-23472?

CVE-2022-23472 is a high-severity security vulnerability in Passeo (pip), affecting versions < 1.0.5. It is fixed in 1.0.5.

How severe is CVE-2022-23472?

CVE-2022-23472 has a CVSS score of 5.9 (High). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.

Which versions of Passeo are affected by CVE-2022-23472?

Passeo (pip) versions < 1.0.5 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2022-23472?

Yes. CVE-2022-23472 is fixed in 1.0.5. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is CVE-2022-23472 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2022-23472 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether CVE-2022-23472 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

Summary

Passeo uses insecure random number generator

Workarounds

No current workaround available than updating to v1.0.5.

Impact

Everyone below v1.0.5 is impacted by this flaw, of confidentiality being at risk due to the password(s) being easily able to be guessed with Passeo's use of the random library. It is recommended to change any passwords made with Passeo before v1.0.5 and upgrade to v1.0.5, and v1.0.5 patches this with the secrets library.

CVE-2022-23472 has a CVSS score of 5.9 (High). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (1.0.5); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Affected versions

Passeo (< 1.0.5)

Security releases

Passeo → 1.0.5 (pip)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
