Associated Vulnerability

Title: OAuth library for nim allows insecure generation of state values by generateState - entropy too low and uses regular PRNG instead of CSPRNG (CVE-2024-42475)
Description:In the OAuth library for nim prior to version 0.11, the `state` values generated by the `generateState` function do not have sufficient entropy. These can be successfully guessed by an attacker allowing them to perform a CSRF vs a user, associating the user's session with the attacker's protected resources. While `state` isn't exactly a cryptographic value, it should be generated in a cryptographically secure way. `generateState` should be using a CSPRNG. Version 0.11 modifies the `generateState` function to generate `state` values of at least 128 bits of entropy while using a CSPRNG.

Description

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability [CWE-122] in FortiOS SSL-VPN (versions 7.2.0 through 7.2.2, 7.0.0 through 7.0.8, 6.4.0 through 6.4.10, 6.2.0 through 6.2.11, 6.0.15 and earlier) and FortiProxy SSL-VPN (versions 7.2.0 through 7.2.1, 7.0.7 and earlier) may allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or commands via specifically crafted requests.
