The Thinbus Javascript Secure Remote Password (SRP) Client Generates Fewer Bits of Entropy Than Intended

Description

A protocol compliance bug in thinbus-srp-npm versions prior to 2.0.1 causes the client to generate a fixed 252 bits of entropy instead of the intended bit length of the safe prime (defaulted to 2048 bits). RFC 5054 states in section 2.5.4 Client Key Exchange

The client key exchange message carries the client’s public value (A).
