Descriptions

A class generated by the Generator in JHipster before 6.3.0 and JHipster Kotlin through 1.1.0 produces code that uses an insecure source of randomness (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.

Una clase generada mediante el Generator en JHipster versiones anteriores a 6.3.0 y JHipster Kotlin versiones hasta 1.1.0, produce código que utiliza una fuente no segura de aleatoriedad (apache.commons.lang3 RandomStringUtils). Esto permite a un atacante (si es capaz de obtener su propia URL de restablecimiento de contraseña) calcular el valor de todos los demás restablecimientos de contraseña para otras cuentas, permitiendo la escalada de privilegios o la toma de control de la cuenta.
