    Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers via the toBuffer function. An attacker can predict cryptographic keys that were generated using Uint8Array inputs on affected Node.js versions, leading to compromised security of derived keys or passwords.

    Note: This is only exploitable when used in the environment running Node.js or io.js in versions lower than 3.0.0.

    How to fix Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers?

    Upgrade pbkdf2 to version 3.1.3 or higher.

    <3.1.3
