CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe argon2i_32 implementation in pymonocypher versions prior to 4.0.2.8 is vulnerable due to inadequate validation of the nb_blocks size, allowing for potential heap corruption through buffer overflows. This could lead to application instability or exploitation by attackers if a sufficiently large buffer is not provided. Developers and organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to version 4.0.2.8 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
pymonocypher uses cython to wrap the Monocypher C library. Prior to version 4.0.2.8, the argon2i_32 implementation does not check the nb_blocks size. If the caller does not provide a sufficiently large buffer based on the API contract, then argon2i_32 will write past the end of the buffer and possibly corrupt the heap. This issue has been patched in version 4.0.2.8.
