Summary

Hardcoded Initialization Vector in parsel

Details

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.
