Semgrep identified an issue in your code:
The call to 'createDecipheriv' with the Galois Counter Mode (GCM) mode of operation is missing an expected authentication tag length. If the expected authentication tag length is not specified or otherwise checked, the application might be tricked into verifying a shorter-than-expected authentication tag. This can be abused by an attacker to spoof ciphertexts or recover the implicit authentication key of GCM, allowing arbitrary forgeries.

Suggested change

	const decipher = crypto.createDecipheriv(
	'aes-256-gcm',
	key,
	Buffer.from(ivHex, 'hex')
	);
	const decipher = crypto.createDecipheriv(
	'aes-256-gcm',
	key,
	Buffer.from(ivHex, 'hex'),
	{ authTagLength: 16 } // Specify the expected authentication tag length in bytes
	);

View step-by-step instructions

1. Pass an additional options object with the authTagLength property set to 16 as the fourth parameter to crypto.createDecipheriv. For example:
   const decipher = crypto.createDecipheriv('aes-256-gcm', key, Buffer.from(ivHex, 'hex'), { authTagLength: 16 });
2. Make sure that the value for authTagLength matches the length of the authentication tag you use when calling decipher.setAuthTag.
   In AES-GCM, a typical tag length is 16 bytes (128 bits). This helps prevent attackers from supplying shorter authentication tags when decrypting.
3. Review and update any other instances of createDecipheriv with a GCM mode in your codebase to use the authTagLength option as well.
