GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

GSD-2013-7463

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2013-10-01 00:00
Details
The aescrypt gem 1.0.0 for Ruby does not randomize the CBC IV for use with the AESCrypt.encrypt and AESCrypt.decrypt functions, which allows attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a chosen plaintext attack.
