I'm not qualified to answer. I'm hoping someone else can chime in.

I was somewhat surprised that it's still using 3DES.

However, a perusal through what I believe is the latest source [0] shows me the latest updates (that I could find) where in 2010 - when 3DES was still widely used, and considered by most to be fairly secure. (Flaws were mostly revealed in 2014, and the complete exploits came in 2017).
