GHSA-6h88-qjpv-p32m
OpenSSL gem for Ruby using inadequate encryption strength
Quick fix
GHSA-6h88-qjpv-p32m — openssl: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
bundle update opensslDetails
The OpenSSL gem for Ruby uses the same initialization vector (IV) in GCM Mode (aes-*-gcm) when the IV is set before the key, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the encryption protection mechanism.
