Cryptographic API Misuse Vulnerability: DES ECB used for encryption #460

Description

@gxx777

DES is weak encryption algorithm and ECB is also a weak mode for block cipher.
I have identified a security vulnerability in the /real-url project's use of DES ECB (Electronic Codebook) mode . This vulnerability can potentially expose sensitive information and compromise the security of the application.

Recommendations:
It is strongly recommended to update the project's code and use more secure encryption modes, such as AES CBC or AES GCM, for configuration. This will help mitigate the potential security risks associated with using DES ECB.Besides,the cryprography.io(https://cryptography.io/) crypto library is a good programming practices.

Additional Information:
Please note that using DES ECB for configuration can lead to information leakage and compromise the confidentiality of sensitive data stored . Upgrading to a more secure encryption mode will significantly enhance the security posture of the application.
