Advisory Weakness Curation

[TagAwareCipher] - Decryption Failure (Regex Match) ### Impact Vulnerability in **SecureProps** involves a regex failing to detect tags during decryption of encrypted data. This occurs when the encrypted data has been encoded with `NullEncoder` and passed to `TagAwareCipher`, and contains special characters such as `\n`. As a result, the decryption process is skipped since the tags are not detected. This causes the encrypted data to be returned in plain format. The vulnerability affects users who implement `TagAwareCipher` with any base cipher that has `NullEncoder` (not default). ### Patches The patch for the issue has been released. Users are advised to update to version **1.2.2**. ### Workarounds **The main recommendation is to update to the latest version as there are no breaking changes.** If that's not possible, you can use the default `Base64Encoder` with the base cipher decorated with `TagAwareCipher` to prevent special characters in the encrypted string from interfering with regex tag detection logic. This workaround is safe but may involve double encoding since `TagAwareCipher` uses `Base64Encoder` by default. ### References Reported issue: https://github.com/IlicMiljan/Secure-Props/issues/20 Pull request resolving bug: https://github.com/IlicMiljan/Secure-Props/pull/21
