CVE-2021-39182
Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort and Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm and Reversible One-Way Hash in hashing.py
EnroCrypt is a Python module for encryption and hashing. Prior to version 1.1.4, EnroCrypt used the MD5 hashing algorithm in the hashing file. Beginners who are unfamiliar with hashes can face problems as MD5 is considered an insecure hashing algorithm. The vulnerability is patched in v1.1.4 of the product. As a workaround, users can remove the MD5 hashing function from the file hashing.py.

Improper hashing in enrocrypt
Impact
The vulnerability is we used MD5 hashing Algorithm In our hashing file. If anyone who is a beginner(and doesn't know about hashes) can face problems as MD5 is considered a Insecure Hashing Algorithm.
Patches
The vulnerability is patched in v1.1.4 of the product, the users can upgrade to version 1.1.4.
Workarounds
If u specifically want a version and don't want to upgrade, you can remove the MD5 hashing function from the file hashing.py and this vulnerability will be gone
