Kingdom: Security Features
Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.
Insecure Randomness: User-Controlled Seed
Abstract
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a tainted argument.
Explanation
Class
CL_ABAP_RANDOM
(or its variants) should not be initialized with a tainted argument. Doing so allows an attacker to control the value used to seed the pseudorandom number generator, and therefore predict the sequence of values produced by calls to methods including but not limited to: GET_NEXT
, INT
, FLOAT
, PACKED

Abstract
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a tainted argument.
Explanation
Functions that generate pseudorandom values (such as
random.randint()
); should not be called with a tainted argument. Doing so allows an attacker to control the value used to seed the pseudorandom number generator, and hence be able to predict the sequence of values (usually integers) produced by calls to the pseudorandom number generator.References

Abstract
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a tainted integer argument.
Explanation
Random.setSeed()
should not be called with a tainted integer argument. Doing so allows an attacker to control the value used to seed the pseudorandom number generator, and therefore predict the sequence of values (usually integers) produced by calls to Random.nextInt()
, Random.nextShort()
, Random.nextLong()
, or returned by Random.nextBoolean()
, or set in Random.nextBytes(byte[])
