chtompki commented on issue #459: (doc): Document public RandomStringUtils exploit URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/pull/459#issuecomment-532689260 I'm still mildly confused how: https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/blob/commons-lang-3.9/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/lang3/RandomStringUtils.java#L36-L37 > Caveat: Instances of [Random](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Random.html), upon which the implementation of this class relies, are not cryptographically secure. doesn't lead the reader to conclude the class is not to be used for the purpose of security and in turn minimally use `SecureRandom` (as stipulated in the `java.util.Random` javadoc, to which we've linked).
