CWE CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength
OWASP A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Medium

Description

The code generates DSA cryptographic keys with a size less than 2048 bits, which is considered too weak by modern security standards. This makes the keys easier to break using current computing power.

Impact

Using weak DSA keys can allow attackers to crack the encryption, leading to exposure of sensitive data, impersonation, or unauthorized access. This undermines the security of your application and puts both user and organizational data at risk.
