CVE-2019-16303 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade generator-jhipster-kotlin to version 1.2.0 or higher.
Overview
generator-jhipster-kotlin is a generator that adds Kotlin to the JHipster application.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Randomness. Uses an insecure source of randomness to generate all of its random values as it relies upon apache commons lang3 RandomStringUtils. This allows an attacker (if able to obtain their own password reset URL) to compute the value for all other password resets for other accounts, thus allowing privilege escalation or account takeover.
