Summary

All versions of `parsel` use an insecure cryptography algorithm. The package uses `aes-256-cbc` without integrity checks, which renders the ciphertext vulnerable to bit-flipping attacks.

## Recommendation

The package is deprecated and will not be updated. Consider using an alternative package.
