Insecure Encryption

parsel is a library that allows you to encrypt and decrypt data with a given key.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Encryption. In cases where an initialisation vector is not supplied to the encrypt or decrypt call in parsel.rb, the initialisation vector used by the library is set to the hardcoded value in L10 of config.rb. This makes the cipher vulnerable to chosen plaintext attacks and data leakage within the first block.

Insecure Encryption

parsel is a library that allows you to encrypt and decrypt data with a given key.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Encryption. It contains a weak key derivation function, in which a key of arbitrary length is run through one round of SHA256 to gain key material of the correct length. This allows for the use of weak key material without appropriate key stretching.
