Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

Both functions improperly initialize SecureRandom with the system's startup time (System.currentTimeMillis()) rather than using proper entropy sources. This violates CWE-335 as predictable seeds lead to predictable outputs. The CaptchaField's static initializer affects CAPTCHA generation security, while ContinuationsManagerImpl's constructor impacts continuation ID randomness. The evidence from code links shows direct seeding with timestamp, and the vulnerability description explicitly calls out this pattern as the root cause for predictable continuation IDs.
