- Summary
- OpenSSL gem for Ruby using inadequate encryption strength
- Details
-
The OpenSSL gem for Ruby uses the same initialization vector (IV) in GCM Mode (aes-*-gcm) when the IV is set before the key, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the encryption protection mechanism.
