CVE-2024-28864

Summary

CVE-2024-28864 is a vulnerability affecting SecureProps, a PHP library used for encrypting and decrypting property data in objects. The issue lies in versions 1.2.0 and 1.2.1, where a regex fails to detect tags during decryption due to special characters like `\\n`. This occurs when `NullEncoder` is used for encoding and `TagAwareCipher` with any base cipher having `NullEncoder` is implemented. The decryption process is skipped, causing encrypted data to be returned in plain format. Users are advised to update to version 1.2.2 for a patch. As an interim solution, using the default `Base64Encoder` with `TagAwareCipher` can prevent special characters from disrupting tag detection logic, although it may involve double encoding.
