-- NOTE(morganfainberg) --------------------------------------
This bug has been split from the original bug #1606407 ; this split has been done since the concerns between Shell injection and wrong use of AES CBC are fundamentally different concerns.
---------------------------------------------------------------

AES CBC is intended as a stream cipher rather than encryption and decryption of static data, this could potentially lead to more complex crypto issues.
