There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting {project}.
When calling base64.b64decode() or related functions the decoding process would
stop after encountering the first padded quad regardless of whether there was
more information to be processed. This can lead to data being accepted which may
be processed differently by other implementations. Use "strict=True" to enable
stricter processing of base64 data.
