It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-81684 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- openssl-encrypt (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.4.9\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-2026-81684/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-81684/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-81684","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-81684/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-81684","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-82vg-rggx-556v","GHSA-rx2c-m92f-qv6p","PYSEC-2026-3958"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python steganography tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can read steganography passwords from process command lines, exposing sensitive data to any user on the system.","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":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/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-214","name":"Invocation of Process Using Visible Sensitive Information"}],"description":"In openssl_encrypt (pip package openssl-encrypt) versions \u003c= 1.4.8, the desktop GUI passes the steganography password to the CLI child process on the command line via the --stego-password argument (on both encrypt and decrypt paths) instead of via an environment variable as done for the main password.
