An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-42766 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Openssl Openssl. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42766/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42766/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-42766","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42766/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-42766","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2026-42766","AZL-89805","AZL-89867","AZL-89943","BELL-CVE-2026-42766","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-42766","GHSA-58mv-qqmv-gqgv","JLSEC-2026-1138","MINI-5vqv-cgr7-mvv6","MINI-hr9p-8rhg-74cq","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-42766"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenSSL library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by sending a crafted password-encrypted CMS message to applications using OpenSSL for decryption.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"openssl","cpe":[{"product":"openssl","vendor":"openssl"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"Issue summary: A specially crafted password-encrypted CMS message\ncan trigger a NULL pointer dereference during CMS decryption.\n\nImpact summary: This NULL pointer dereference leads to an application crash\nand a Denial of Service.\n\nThe CMS PasswordRecipientInfo.keyDerivationAlgorithm field is defined as\nOPTIONAL in the ASN.1 specification and may therefore be absent in specially\ncrafted inputs.
