There is a bug ticket at upstream summarizing some of the information

https://github.com/vgough/encfs/issues/314

As member of upstream maintenance team for "Back In Time" (https://github.com/bit-team/backintime) currently depending on EncFS, I try to
find out how to deal with the problem. I also try to find out how big the problem really is.

Debian seems to keep EncFS. That indicates to me that the problem can not be so
big.
As upstream maintainer of Back In Time I'm unsure how to evaluate the situation. We do think about to remove EncFS because of the security issues.

Just because of my lazyness [TM] and because it has not shown critical integration issues yet. Upstream has declared it EOL some months ago,
and I will probably move the package to oldlibs and change the old
description into a warning. For details and alternatives, see:

https://github.com/vgough/encfs?tab=readme-ov-file#status

Best regards,
Eduard.
