Values produced by ${random.value} are not suitable for use as secrets. ${random.uuid} is not affected. ${random.int} and ${random.long} should never be used for secrets as they are numeric values with a predictable range.
Affected: Spring Boot 4.0.0-4.0.5 (fix 4.0.6), 3.5.0-3.5.13 (fix 3.5.14), 3.4.0-3.4.15 (fix 3.4.16), 3.3.0-3.3.18 (fix 3.3.19), 2.7.0-2.7.32 (fix 2.7.33); random value property source / weak PRNG for secrets. Versions that are no longer supported are also affected per vendor advisory.
AnalysisAI
Spring Boot applications using ${random.value} for secrets generation produce cryptographically weak values unsuitable for authentication, encryption keys, or other sensitive purposes. Affected versions 2.7.0 through 4.0.5 generate predictable random values when relying on the random value property source; attackers can enumerate or predict these values to compromise confidentiality and integrity of secrets. …
