CWE	CWE-327: Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
OWASP	A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level	High
Impact Level	Medium
Likelihood Level	Low

Description#

The code uses the Blowfish cipher algorithm, which is outdated and no longer considered secure for protecting sensitive data. Attackers can potentially break this encryption with modern techniques.

Impact#

If an attacker intercepts data encrypted with Blowfish, they may be able to decrypt and access confidential information such as passwords or personal data. This can lead to data breaches, regulatory violations, and loss of user trust.
