Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-332: Insufficient Entropy in PRNG, where the lack of entropy available for, or used by, a pseudo-random number generator (prng) can be a stability and security threat. In Github.com/dinever/golf, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

CSRF tokens are generated using math/rand, which is not a cryptographically secure random number generator, allowing an attacker to predict values and bypass CSRF protections with relatively few requests.
