Thanks for highlighting this issue. I'm already monitoring weekly vulnerability reports and plan to update the version in the next major release, unless an urgent need arises to expedite the process. The vulnerability, related to inputting keys of varying sizes, should be mitigated already in the current architecture through rusty-paseto's implementation of fixed-size, strongly-typed keys, reducing any immediate risk.

Nevertheless, due to the type-specific nature of the crate, updating is not merely a simple version bump. I appreciate your vigilance and the effort you've made to inform me. I'll resolve this issue when the new version of the dalek crate is incorporated. I understand this might affect users who rely on cargo audit in their CI workflows, and I am open to discussions if there's a critical need for an earlier release.

Thanks again for taking the time to log this issue.
