Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The goTenna Pro App does not use SecureRandom when generating passwords for sharing cryptographic keys. The random function in use makes it easier for attackers to brute force this password if the broadcasted encryption key is captured over RF. This only applies to the optional broadcast of an encryption key, so it is advised to share the key with local QR code for higher security operations.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The goTenna Pro App uses a non-cryptographically secure random number generator when creating passwords for sharing cryptographic keys. This weakness allows attackers to more easily brute force these passwords if they capture the broadcasted encryption key over RF, as the entropy of the generated passwords is significantly reduced.

MitigationReplace the insecure random function with a cryptographically secure alternative like SecureRandom, and for high-security operations use local QR code sharing instead of RF broadcasting for key exchange.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify goTenna Pro is installed
    Locate the goTenna Pro application on your system or device using your system's application list, package manager, or file system
    Affected if goTenna Pro application is present on the system
  2. Identify installed version
    Access the application's About, Settings, or version information panel to retrieve the exact version number installed
    Affected if The version number cannot be determined or is not visible
  3. Compare version to affected ranges
    Take the installed version and compare it against the affected ranges: versions <= 1.6.1 or versions < 2.0.3
    Affected if Your installed version falls within <= 1.6.1 or < 2.0.3 (for example, 1.5.0, 1.6.1, 2.0.0, 2.0.2 would all be affected)
  4. Determine if RF key sharing is used
    Check whether the application is configured to use RF (radio frequency) broadcasting for cryptographic key exchange rather than local methods like QR code sharing
    Affected if RF broadcasting is enabled or commonly used for key exchange in your workflow

You are affected if your goTenna Pro version is 1.6.1 or lower, or between 2.0.0 and 2.0.2 inclusive, AND you use RF broadcasting for key exchange.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 2.0.3 or later
Fixed in 2.0.3
Interim mitigation

Replace the insecure random function with a cryptographically secure alternative like SecureRandom, and for high-security operations use local QR code sharing instead of RF broadcasting for key exchange.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

goTenna Pro >= 2.0.3

  1. Verify current goTenna Pro app version installed on device
  2. Upgrade goTenna Pro to version 2.0.3 or later
  3. After upgrade, for highest security operations, use local QR code sharing method instead of RF broadcast for encryption keys
