Affected packages
• npm simple-crypto-js: < 2.3.0 → fixed in 2.3.0
Description
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.
