Overview

org.apereo.cas:cas-server-core-services-api is a library used within Apereo CAS for Apereo CAS Core Services API.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Randomness. A insecure source of randomness is used to generate all of its random values as it relies upon apache commons lang3 RandomStringUtils. This could allow an attacker to possibly generate their own unique Ticket ID due to insufficient randomness.
