CWE	CWE-327: Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
OWASP	A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level	Medium
Impact Level	Medium
Likelihood Level	Medium

Description

The code is using the Blowfish cipher for encryption, which is outdated and has known weaknesses, especially with certain keys. It is recommended to use a more secure algorithm like AES instead.

Impact

If Blowfish is used, attackers may be able to exploit its weaknesses to decrypt sensitive data or compromise encrypted information. This can lead to exposure of confidential data, violating compliance requirements and potentially harming users and the organization.
