CWE-340: Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers
The product uses a scheme that generates numbers or identifiers that are more predictable than required.
How it's found
Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers describes a general pattern rather than a single fixed bug. Testers use a mix of static analysis and manual code review to find where a target's code matches this pattern, then confirm exploitability by hand.
