Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of node-cipher-base the autopkgtest of 
node-cipher-base fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the 
binary packages of node-cipher-base from unstable. Looking at the 
output, it seems that the fix for CVE-2025-9287 has endianness problem 
(bytes are swapped). I have no idea if this is a test only problem, or 
the patch has a problem. I copied some of the output at the bottom of 
this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration to testing [1]. Can 
you please investigate the situation and fix it?

Paul
