We had a misconfigured validation of a wildcard route which returned 200 for every route. This causes an increasing of 404 errors in Google Search Console for unknown routes of the following schema:
/jclipdllf.html
/wjbcmlodxazxg.html
/uamahtizftvppsqe.html
We can exclude a misconfiguration of the application which generates the these kind of routes. We do not generate any routes with .html ending. I know that it doesn't impact our rankings but I'm really interested in the cause of these urls.
Does it come from external linking ? But why and how ? Does anybody have seen such issue?

Most commonly unknown 404's come from third party linking either mis-spelling a link, or as appears in this case, randomly creating a whole heap of links in the hope that something links. Basically it is safe to ignore these 404 errors. The fact that GWT shows them as 404 errors means in all likelihood your 404's are correctly returning hard 404's that Google can detect.
