An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-74883 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- openssl-encrypt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.4.0\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-2026-74883/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74883/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74883","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74883/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74883","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mcjj-qw7m-j3cp","GHSA-p2g6-jjwg-33v4","PYSEC-2026-3760"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python encryption library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass sandbox restrictions in openssl_encrypt to read and write arbitrary files by importing pathlib or io modules.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"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:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-693","name":"Protection Mechanism Failure"}],"description":"openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.0 contain a sandbox bypass vulnerability where the plugin sandbox fails to restrict alternative file access methods like pathlib.Path and io.open.
