The generate_admin_password function in Cherokee before 1.2.99 uses time and PID values for seeding of a random number generator, which makes it easier for local users to determine admin passwords via a brute-force attack.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cherokee web server versions before 1.2.99 could generate administrator passwords from predictable values: time and process ID. A local user could potentially guess those generated passwords faster than expected. This is most urgent where legacy Cherokee is still installed and local user access is shared or weakly controlled. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems running Cherokee before 1.2.99, especially where generated admin passwords were used and untrusted local users have access. The source bundle does not provide package CPEs or a complete affected-version matrix. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless Cherokee is in active use on shared systems. Prioritize discovery, upgrade or retirement, and password rotation. The business urgency rises if affected servers have multiple local users or privileged web administration access. Mitigation focus: Identify any Cherokee deployments and record installed versions.; Upgrade Cherokee to 1.2.99 or a vendor-fixed package where applicable.; Rotate admin passwords generated by affected Cherokee versions..
