Avoid Path.GetTempFileName() due to CWE 377. #537

Description

@tdhintz

Steps to reproduce

  1. Static code security scan. Example:
		private static string GetTempFileName(string original, bool makeTempFile)
		{
			string result = null;

			if (original == null)
			{
				result = Path.GetTempFileName();
			}

Expected behavior

Use sufficiently random names for temporary files to prevent attacks which can predict the name of the file. For example, a Guid or crypto generated random number.

Actual behavior

Security scan failure.
