Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from using UUIDv1 for authorization tokens. While exact code isn't available, the advisory explicitly states UUIDv1 usage. In Go implementations, UUIDv1 is typically generated via functions like uuid.NewUUID() from the github.com/google/uuid package. The confidence is high because: 1) UUIDv1 is the only UUID version explicitly called out as problematic 2) Authorization token generation is a core security mechanism 3) The fix would logically involve switching to UUIDv4 or cryptographic randomness.
