AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

PyCrypto uses weak ElGamal cryptography. Due to an incorrect implementation of ElGamal, the Decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) assumption doesn’t hold because of the way the key parameters are generated. This allows attackers who have access to the cipher-text to decrypt the messages and potentially gain access to sensitive information.
