CWE-310 Open this link in a new tab

How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/dinever/golf to version 0.3.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cryptographic Issues. randomBytes in xsrf.go uses math.rand to generate CSRF tokens. This is unsafe/insecure, and because it is seeded with time.UnixNano, generates predictable results that would allow an attacker to bypass CSRF protection.
