> We are a security research team at Virginia Tech. We are doing an empirical study about the usefulness of the existing security vulnerability detection tools. The following is a reported vulnerability by certain tools. We'll so appreciate it if you can give any feedback on it.
> *Vulnerability Description:*
> {color:#172b4d}In file {color}[flink/flink-end-to-end-tests/flink-stream-state-ttl-test/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/tests/verify/AbstractTtlStateVerifier.java,|https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/97bfd049951f8d52a2e0aed14265074c4255ead0/flink-end-to-end-tests/flink-stream-state-ttl-test/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/tests/verify/AbstractTtlStateVerifier.java] use java.util.Random instead of java.security.SecureRandom at Line 39.
> *Security Impact:*
> Java.util.Random is not cryptographically strong and may expose sensitive information to certain types of attacks when used in a security context.
> *Useful Resources*:

> *Solution we suggest:*
> Replace it with SecureRandom
> *Please share with us your opinions/comments if there is any:*
