Decrypt Laravel-encrypted value

crypt.py

import os
import base64
import json
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from phpserialize import loads


def decrypt(payload):
    data = json.loads(base64.b64decode(payload))

    value =  base64.b64decode(data['value'])
    iv = base64.b64decode(data['iv'])

    return unserialize(mcrypt_decrypt(value, iv))

def mcrypt_decrypt(value, iv):
    AES.key_size=128
    key=os.environ['APP_KEY']

    crypt_object=AES.new(key=key,mode=AES.MODE_CBC,IV=iv)
    return crypt_object.decrypt(value)

def unserialize(serialized):
    return loads(serialized)

Hello ^_^

I am seeing this a bit later, but I was looking for this same thing and now that I have tried it it has problems with the "json.loads" part.

Here is the exception I am getting

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\serverless\lib\plugins\aws
invokeLocal\runtimeWrappers\invoke.py", line 86, in

result = handler(input['event'], context)

File ".\sendMail.py", line 52, in sendMailSMTP
print(decrypt(secret, app_key))
File ".\sendMail.py", line 98, in decrypt
data = json.loads(dataJson)
File "C:\Users\PC\Anaconda3\lib\json_init_.py", line 343, in loads

s = s.decode(detect_encoding(s), 'surrogatepass')

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8c in position 5: invalid
start byte

Can someone please help me with this, thanк you in advance

any update on the Crypt::encryptString hash?
