Inadequate Encryption Strength

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

Description

The code is generating RSA keys with a size smaller than 3072 bits, which is below current security standards. This makes the encryption easier to break using modern computing power.

Impact

Using weak RSA keys can allow attackers to decrypt sensitive data, impersonate users, or bypass authentication. This exposes confidential information and could lead to data breaches or loss of trust in your application.
