CVE-2013-7463 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fix version for aescrypt.
Overview
aescrypt is a simple AES encryption / decryption for Ruby.
Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to Insecure Encryption because it 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.
