How to fix?

Upgrade vodozemac to version 0.6.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure Through an Error Message due to changes in third-party cryptographic dependencies, which moved secret zeroization capabilities behind a feature flag while the default feature set was disabled. This could result in the production of more memory copies of encryption secrets, and secrets could linger in memory longer than necessary, marginally increasing the risk of sensitive data exposure.
