Insecure Cryptography Algorithm in simple-crypto-js

Versions of simple-crypto-js prior to 2.3.0 use AES-CBC with PKCS#7 padding, which is vulnerable to padding oracle attacks. This may allow attackers to break the encryption and access sensitive data.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 2.3.0 or later.
