CWE-326  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade php to version 7.2.34, 7.3.23, 7.4.11 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Encryption. In PHP versions 7.2.x below 7.2.34, 7.3.x below 7.3.23 and 7.4.x below 7.4.11, when AES-CCM mode is used with openssl_encrypt() function with 12 bytes IV, only first 7 bytes of the IV is actually used. This can lead to both decreased security and incorrect encryption data.
