GMS-2020-425: Insecure Cryptography Algorithm in parsel

September 4, 2020 (updated October 4, 2021)

All versions of parsel use an insecure cryptography algorithm. The package uses aes-256-cbc without integrity checks, which renders the ciphertext vulnerable to bit-flipping attacks. The package is deprecated and will not be updated. Consider using an alternative package.
