Description

Hello,
I am not able to decrypt back what was encrypted using Crypto-JS in browser Javascript / NodeJS:

// Encrypt
var ciphertext = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt('testingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtestingtesting', '&&nH8P3bxk+?C4gR');
 
// Decrypt
var bytes  = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(ciphertext.toString(), '&&nH8P3bxk+?C4gR');
var plaintext = bytes.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8);

console.log(plaintext);

I can decrypt it in Java using:
Cipher.getInstance("AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding")
But, I get
nil
when I try to do it with resty.aes. Here is the code:

local aes = require "resty.aes"
local cipher = aes.cipher(256)
local aes_256_cbc_md5 = aes:new('&&nH8P3bxk+?C4gR', nil, cipher)

local cipherText = 'U2FsdGVkX1859eIyt4M7VHNBl9BGMdsemPYAADKmqs9sltwKINfzVMci0Vw1NLr73Iti67zQ0+JoqVcL59Gcp+4R5NY6wg2n3r0wqLcQRc7PkIGpgup1UJp4DzhXSIGHz08Eu/nEbt3jAh3S4GVUoVFbXLluf/BvedTGdsqcN2EPL9S/WQOc5QDyl9OQjpBl+QS56nWL0DO6iR/6CIoEuQ+zC/7KTpBw2jQf8sxuDNptZzwKLlDi2sWSaeCkvPj+m8zheAlnZzVc+L5JeLdcx7WkIRQImNs9P5bkhXmiK2nZnw4yco3QHbzRkRBJiB3HgdYDauHsuKmR21zv9VLjAcGTrZjiUbtrBfuTRawKOiAFm599Inbq+Ugu9n4RelQ2CTdxwDfe3ZE3kscP3dyAmg=='
ngx.say(aes_256_cbc_md5:decrypt(cipherText))

Could someone please help me with server side decryption?

Research direction

Start with the resty.aes usage shown in the issue and compare it with the CryptoJS AES encrypt/decrypt example and the Java AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding configuration. Reproduce the supplied ciphertext and inspect the cipher, key, IV, and encoding parameters used by each example. Done means resty.aes decrypts the supplied ciphertext to the original plaintext or documents the incompatibility clearly.
