    Summary: Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator in org.pac4j:pac4j-saml

    Details: The SAML identifier generated within SAML2Utils.java was found to make use of the apache commons-lang3 RandomStringUtils class which makes them predictable due to RandomStringUtils PRNG's algorithm not being cryptographically strong. This issue only affects the 3.X release of pac4j-saml.
