A security-sensitive value (token, password, session id, nonce, salt) is generated with a predictable random number generator.
Category: SECURITY · Engine rule severity: WARNING
How to fix it
Use java.security.SecureRandom (e.g. SecureRandom().asKotlinRandom() for random()/shuffled()) for secrets and tokens; kotlin.random.Random and java.util.Random are predictable.
