A flaw was found in Spring Boot. The `${random.value}` property source utilizes a weak pseudo-random number generator (PRNG), meaning the values it produces are not sufficiently random for use as cryptographic secrets. An attacker could potentially predict these values, which may lead to information disclosure or a security bypass if they are used in sensitive applications. Spring Boot: Spring Boot: Weak pseudo-random number generation can lead to information disclosure. The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
