Description Ratul Gupta 2013-09-13 09:26:39 UTC
It was found that in python-oauth2, an application for authorizing flows for web application,  the nonce value generated isn't random enough, because while doing bulk operations, nonce might get repeated, so there is a chance of predictability. This could allow MITM attackers to conduct replay attacks.
