Sometimes crypto libraries have bugs, but it's also easy to use them incorrectly, especially if you don't have an good understanding of cryptography.
For example, a common mistake is to assume that by encrypting something, attackers can no longer change it. Or perhaps you'll use your standard equality operation to check whether a decrypted string matches some value, without thinking about timing attacks. Or maybe you'll just use AES in ECB mode.
