Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-17 05:25 – Updated: 2024-09-20 16:51

Summary

Elixir can leak information due to weak use of crypto

Details

Elixir prior to and including 0.7.1 uses Blowfish in CFB mode without constructing a unique initialization vector (IV), which makes it easier for context-dependent users to obtain sensitive information and decrypt the database. A patch has been attached to the initial advisory to mitigate this vulnerability.

Severity
