CVE-2019-11808: Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)

May 7, 2019 (updated May 8, 2019)

Ratpack generates a session ID using a cryptographically weak PRNG in the JDK’s ThreadLocalRandom. This means that if an attacker can determine a small window for the server start time and obtain a session ID value, they can theoretically determine the sequence of session IDs.
