Upgrade github.com/masterminds/goutils to version 1.1.1 or higher.
Overview
github.com/masterminds/goutils is a provides users with utility functions to manipulate strings in various ways.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Randomness via the RandomAlphaNumeric(int) and CryptoRandomAlphaNumeric(int) functions. Small values of int in the functions above will return a smaller subset of results than they should. For example, RandomAlphaNumeric(1) would always return a digit in the 0-9 range, while RandomAlphaNumeric(4) return around ~7 million of the ~13M possible permutations.
