Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cleartext Storage in a File or on Disk in the pgcrypto process when OpenSSL-disabled ciphers are used. An attacker can access sensitive information and potentially modify data by observing the faulty ciphertext or submitting encrypted data that will be decrypted even with an incorrect key, bypassing integrity checks.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by using FIPS-compliant ciphers or other OpenSSL-enabled ciphers.
