MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 1.06%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.06%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Convos before 4.20 does not properly generate a random secret in Core/Settings.pm and Util.pm. This leads to a predictable CONVOS_LOCAL_SECRET value, affecting password resets and invitations.
