AI-assisted PatchSiren debrief based on the supplied source corpus. The CVE record was published on 2026-08-27T17:21:02.650Z and has not been modified since then. This vulnerability exists in openssl_encrypt before version 1.4.9, where it fails to validate KDF cost parameters in encrypted file metadata and keystore headers. Attackers can craft malicious encrypted files declaring arbitrarily large Argon2, [truncated]
openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.9 use under-parameterized PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 with only 100,000 iterations to protect PQC keyfile private keys and 10,000 iterations for dual-encryption file-password verification. Attackers who obtain keyfiles or encrypted files can brute-force wrapping passwords offline using GPU or ASIC acceleration. This vulnerability allows for offline brute-force attacks on wrappin [truncated]
The openssl_encrypt (pip package openssl-encrypt) versions <= 1.4.8 do not redact the keyserver bearer token passed as the positional argument to 'keyserver set-token' in the --debug argv dump, because sanitize_argv_for_debug fails to sanitize it. As a result the token is printed in cleartext to stderr under --debug (even without --unsafe-show-secrets), persisting the credential in logs and terminal history.
The CVE-2026-81714 vulnerability affects openssl-encrypt versions <= 1.4.8, allowing an operator to unknowingly enroll an attacker's colliding key as a trusted anchor due to suffix-tolerant fingerprint matching in enroll_trust_key. This could lead to malicious plugins being vouched for under the ENFORCE signature policy. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.3 and is considered CRITICAL. Operators using [truncated]

The openssl-encrypt Python package, versions up to 1.4.8, fails to properly sanitize filenames from untrusted sources before displaying them in the verify-usb command output. This allows an attacker to inject terminal control codes, potentially masking tamper detection by displaying a forged 'PASSED' verdict. The issue was addressed in version 1.4.9 by introducing the sanitize_for_display() function to ha [truncated]
The CVE-2026-81692 vulnerability affects openssl_encrypt library versions 1.4.8 and earlier. It fails to validate the 36-bit STREAMINFO total_samples field of FLAC files before using it to size an allocation. A crafted FLAC file declaring ~100 million samples can cause a multi-gigabyte memory allocation, leading to out-of-memory denial of service during 'decrypt --stego-extract'. Users should be aware of [truncated]
The CVE-2026-81689 vulnerability exists in OpenSSL Encrypt versions before 1.4.9, where the remote-pepper wrap key is derived using unsalted HKDF-SHA256 or bare SHA-256 of the password. This allows identical keys across all users and files, enabling attackers with access to wrapped pepper blobs to precompute a single dictionary table and perform fleet-wide offline password guessing at hardware speed to re [truncated]
The CVE-2026-81688 vulnerability affects openssl_encrypt library versions before 1.4.9. This vulnerability class involves the storage of an unkeyed SHA-256 hash of the plaintext in the cleartext file header metadata.
