Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Jervis (Maven net.gleske:jervis) versions before 2.2 derive the PBKDF2 salt from a hash of the password, so the same password always produces the same derived key. An attacker who can obtain the ciphertexts can use pre-computation against common passwords. Upgrade to Jervis 2.2, which generates a random salt for each password. No workaround is listed.
