Package        : cryptojs
Version        : 3.1.2+dfsg-2+deb10u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2023-46233
Debian Bug     : 1055525

Thomas Neil James Shadwell reported that cryptojs, a collection of
cryptographic algorithms implemented in JavaScript, had default PBKDF2
settings 1000 times weaker than when specified back in 1993, and 1.3M
times weaker than OWASP's current recommendations.

The default settings are now changed to use SHA256 with 250k iterations.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
3.1.2+dfsg-2+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your cryptojs packages.
