Affected packages
• npm parsel: >= 0.0.0 (no fix yet)
Description
All versions of `parsel` have a default hardcoded initialization vector. In cases where the IV is not provided, the package defaults to a hardcoded IV which renders the cipher vulnerable to chosen plaintext attacks.
Recommendation
The package is deprecated and will not be updated. Consider using an alternative package.
