Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Predictable Seed in Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) via the use of RandomStringUtils with the default java.util.Random PRNG. An attacker can recover sensitive information by predicting the server-side encryption key if they can obtain ciphertexts and approximate the PRNG seed.
