When software generates predictable values in a context requiring unpredictability, it may be possible for an attacker to guess the next value that will be generated, and use this guess to impersonate another user or access sensitive information. As the Math.random() function relies on a weak pseudorandom number generator, this function should not be used for security-critical applications or for protecting sensitive data. In such context, a cryptographically strong pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) should be used instead. For more information checkout the CWE-338 (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/338.html) advisory.

Browsers allow message exchanges between Window objects of different origins. Because any window can send / receive messages from other window it is important to verify the sender's / receiver's identity: When sending message with postMessage method, the identity's receiver should be defined (the wildcard keyword (*) should not be used).\nWhen receiving message with message event, the sender's identity should be verified using the origin and possibly source properties. For more information checkout the OWASP A2:2017 (https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/2017/A2_2017-Broken_Authentication) and (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/postMessage) advisory.

SQL queries often need to use a hardcoded SQL string with a dynamic parameter coming from a user request. Formatting a string to add those parameters to the request is a bad practice as it can result in an SQL injection. The safe way to add parameters to a SQL query is to use SQL binding mechanisms. For more information checkout the CWE-564 (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/564.html) and OWASP A1:2017 (https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/2017/A1_2017-Injection.html) advisory.
