Project: Mass Password Reset [1]
Version: 7.x-1.0
Date: 2018-June-27
Security risk: *Less critical* 9∕25
AC:Complex/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Insecure Randomness

Description: 
This module enables you to reset passwords for all users based upon their
user role.

The module doesn't use a strong source of randomness, creating weak and
predictable passwords.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the site must be configured
to reveal the password to the attacker, which is a common configuration.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Mass Password Reset module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Mass
    Password Reset 7.x-1.1 [3].

Also see the Mass Password Reset [4] project page.
