CVE-2012-2146
Elixir 0.8.0 uses Blowfish in CFB mode without constructing a unique initialization vector (IV), which makes it easier for context-dependent users to obtain sensitive information and decrypt the database.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.68%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
