Reading through cryptoJs readMe file in the latest version 4.2.0
`Discontinued

Active development of CryptoJS has been discontinued. This library is no longer maintained.

Nowadays, NodeJS and modern browsers have a native Crypto module. The latest version of CryptoJS already uses the native Crypto module for random number generation, since Math.random() is not crypto-safe. Further development of CryptoJS would result in it only being a wrapper of native Crypto. Therefore, development and maintenance has been discontinued, it is time to go for the native crypto module.`

Therefore the cryptoJs node module will be replaced by the native Nodejs crypto module and all implementation of the cryptoJs within the frontend application will be updated accordingly.
