Insecure randomness: random module used for security token
What it detects
Python's random module is not cryptographically secure. Use secrets.token_* for tokens and secrets.choice for sampling.
How it runs
Applied line-by-line via a tagged regex with language-specific gating. Comments are skipped. Designed for high-confidence patterns where AST parsing would be overkill.
