CVE-2021-39182 — Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort and Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm and Re…

Affected: Morgan-Phoenix EnroCrypt

EnroCrypt is a Python module for encryption and hashing. Prior to version 1.1.4, EnroCrypt used the MD5 hashing algorithm in the hashing file. Beginners who are unfamiliar with hashes can face problems as MD5 is considered an insecure hashing algorithm. The vulnerability is patched in v1.1.4 of the product. As a workaround, users can remove the `MD5` hashing function from the file `hashing.py`.

GHSA-35m5-8cvj-8783 — Improper hashing in enrocrypt

Affected: PyPI: enrocrypt

### Impact The vulnerability is we used MD5 hashing Algorithm In our hashing file. If anyone who is a beginner(and doesn't know about hashes) can face problems as MD5 is considered a Insecure Hashing Algorithm.

### Patches The vulnerability is patched in v1.1.4 of the product, the users can upgrade to version 1.1.4.

### Workarounds If u specifically want a version and don't want to upgrade, you can remove the `MD5` hashing function from the file `hashing.py` and this vulnerability will be gone
