GHSA-5v7r-jg9r-vq44
- Affected
- npm simple-crypto-js < 2.3.0
- Fixed in
- 2.3.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Versions of simple-crypto-js prior to 2.3.0 use AES-CBC with PKCS#7 padding, which is vulnerable to padding oracle attacks. This may allow attackers to break the encryption and access sensitive data. Recommendation Upgrade to version 2.3.0 or later.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.3.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
