Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for librest.

CVE-2026-16615[0]:
| A flaw was found in librest. The PKCE implementation for OAuth
| authorization uses the GRand function from the GLib API, a
| cryptographically insecure pseudo-random number generator. Because
| the generated "code verifier" lacks sufficient cryptographic
| entropy, a malicious actor can reverse-engineer the pseudo-random
| number generator (PRNG) seed to predict or reconstruct the code
| verifier string, allowing an attacker to bypass PKCE protections and
| successfully impersonate the client during the OAuth 2.0
| authorization flow.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
