CVE-2015-8013 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade openpgp
to version 1.3.0 or higher.
Overview
openpgp is a JavaScript implementation of the OpenPGP protocol.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass due to insecure implementation of the S2K method. S2K decrypts arbitrary messages regardless of passphrase for the crafted PGP keys, this would allow remote attackers to bypass authentication if message decryption is used as an authentication mechanism via a crafted symmetrically encrypted PGP message.
