The maxRandom function of a smart contract implementation for All For One, an Ethereum gambling game, generates a random value with publicly readable variables because the _seed value can be retrieved with a getStorageAt call. Therefore, it allows attackers to always win and get rewards.

CVSS 3.0 Base Score 7.5. CVSS Attack Vector: network. CVSS Attack Complexity: low. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
CVSS 2.0 Base Score 5. CVSS Attack Vector: network. CVSS Attack Complexity: low. CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N).
Both of these examples use a statistical PRNG to generate a random number:
int accountID = random.nextInt();
int randNum = rand();The random number functions used in these examples, rand() and Random.nextInt(), are not considered cryptographically strong. An attacker may be able to predict the random numbers generated by these functions. Note that these example also exhibit CWE-337 (Predictable Seed in PRNG).
