Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Alternate Encoding in its password normalization, which applies Unicode NFKC (compatibility) normalization before hashing and so folds fullwidth and other compatibility characters to their ASCII equivalents. An attacker with access to the stored password hashes can shrink the effective keyspace and test ASCII dictionary candidates against passwords originally set with compatibility characters, since distinct inputs such as Ａ (U+FF21) and A (U+0041) produce the same hash. This affects only credentials whose passwords contain compatibility characters such as fullwidth letters or digits, and the attacker must already possess the hashes to run the offline dictionary attack.
