Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception in the decryption process when chunking is performed at certain boundaries. An attacker can cause decryption failures and trigger exceptions by manipulating the way encrypted data is chunked and processed.
Note: This is only exploitable if decryption is performed in chunks at specific boundaries rather than passing the entire message at once.
