Overview

com.orientechnologies:orientdb-core The OServer.java file is responsible for auto-generating passwords by using the variable new Random(). This is Java's default random-number generator initialized with the current system time as a seed, which is not secure because it is easily predictable. The SecureRandom random-number generator was used as a fix.
