Inadequate Encryption Strength

Property Value
Language python
Severity medium
CWE CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength
OWASP A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Medium

Description

The code is generating RSA keys with a size less than 2048 bits, which is below current security standards. Keys of this size are considered weak and can be vulnerable to modern attacks.

Impact

Using insufficiently sized RSA keys makes it easier for attackers to break the encryption, potentially exposing sensitive data or allowing unauthorized access. This could compromise confidential information and undermine the security of your application or users.
