NIH BRICS (aka Biomedical Research Informatics Computing System) versions 14.0.0 through 14.0.0-67
**Description**
The issue allows unauthenticated users with a Common Access Card (CAC) to escalate privileges and compromise any account, including administrators, due to the generation of predictable tokens. These tokens depend on the `username`, time, and a fixed string.
**Recommendations**
