Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Inadequate Encryption Strength due to the possibility for a master key to be poorly encoded resulting in weakening its entropy from 128 to 43 bits, making the stored passwords vulnerable to a brute force attack if an attacker has access to the users stored config.
