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-2026-74870 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- openssl-encrypt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.4.7\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-2026-74870/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74870/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74870","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74870/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74870","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p9g8-wvh4-2jmx","GHSA-q9f6-q6m5-f5h2","PYSEC-2026-3956"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python encryption library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Diagnostic commands in the openssl_encrypt library leak derived hardware pepper values to logs, exposing sensitive data that is salt-bound and limited in impact.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"openssl_encrypt","vendor":"jahlives"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-532","name":"Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File"}],"description":"openssl_encrypt (pip) versions \u003c= 1.4.7 contain an information exposure vulnerability where the 'hsm fido2-test' and 'hsm onlykey-test' diagnostic commands unconditionally print the full derived hardware pepper as hex to stdout/stderr (crypt_cli.py, handle_hsm_command). The printed value can persist in terminal scrollback, session recordings, or CI logs. Impact is limited because the pepper is derived from a random per-invocation test salt and is salt-bound, so the leaked value cannot be used to decrypt real files. A related plugin issue logged raw prf_data outside the secret-redaction path. Fixed in 1.4.8 (and 1.5.0) by removing the hex dumps and routing plugin debug output through the redaction layer.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"openssl_encrypt before 1.4.8 Hardware Pepper Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-74870","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"jahlives:openssl_encrypt","products":["jahlives:openssl_encrypt"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"openssl_encrypt before 1.4.6 KDF Bypass via Sequential-XOR","id":"CVE-2026-74871"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["1.4.7"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"openssl-encrypt","purl":"pkg:pypi/openssl-encrypt","source":"PYSEC-2026-3956"}],"prev":{"headline":"stoatchat before 0.15.0 Missing Authorization via Subscribe","id":"CVE-2026-74869"},"products":["openssl_encrypt"],"published":"2026-08-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 Authentication Bypass via Recovery Slot Removal","id":"CVE-2026-81680","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 False Encryption via Cleartext Storage","id":"CVE-2026-81681","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 Text Injection via Recovery Slot Metadata","id":"CVE-2026-81685","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"openssl-encrypt before 1.4.9 Output Injection via Unsanitized Filenames in verify-usb Command","id":"CVE-2026-81694","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 Terminal Injection via key_id","id":"CVE-2026-81695","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 Terminal Injection via info Command","id":"CVE-2026-81696","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 Shell Injection via info command","id":"CVE-2026-81698","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-01","vendors":["jahlives"]},"summary":"Diagnostic commands in the openssl_encrypt library leak derived hardware pepper values to logs, exposing sensitive data that is salt-bound and limited in impact.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74870/"}
