Insecure Cryptography High

Using insecure cryptographic algorithms or configurations introduces vulnerabilities in applications. This includes weak ciphers like RC4 or DES, ECB mode, no integrity checking, insufficient key sizes, and other known cryptographic weaknesses. Modern secure ciphers like AES-GCM and recommended key sizes should be used instead. Following cryptography best practices is essential to prevent confidentiality and integrity loss.
