CWE	CWE-338: Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)
OWASP	A02:2021 - Cryptographic Failures
Confidence Level	Medium
Impact Level	Medium
Likelihood Level	Medium

Description

The code is using Go's math/rand package to generate random numbers, which is not secure for cryptographic purposes. Instead, crypto/rand should be used to ensure randomness that can't be easily predicted.

Impact

If attackers can predict random values (such as session tokens, API keys, or passwords), they could hijack accounts or gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. This weak randomness undermines the security of cryptographic operations and can lead to serious breaches.
