Detected use of an insecure `MD4` or `MD5` hash function and replace with `SHA256`

Python pattern

Identified the utilization of an insecure MD4 or MD5 hash function, both of which have well-documented vulnerabilities and are deemed deprecated. It is recommended to replace them with more secure options such as SHA256 or a comparable hash function for improved security.
