crypto-js is vulnerable to Insecure Hashing Algorithm. The vulnerability is present because the library uses the cryptographically weak sha1 algorithm by default. This weakness allows an attacker to potentially forge data, certificates, or digital signatures, which could lead to unauthorized access if the hash is used for security.
