{"id":"CVE-2026-74884","summary":"openssl_encrypt before 1.4.0 Path Traversal via plugin_id","details":"openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.0 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the _is_safe_path method where the plugin_id parameter is not sanitized before constructing the plugin config directory path. Attackers can declare a malicious plugin_id containing path traversal sequences like '../' to access arbitrary directories outside the intended plugin directory.","aliases":["GHSA-8jpj-w975-rwv5","PYSEC-2026-3761"],"modified":"2026-09-03T03:48:01.821541393Z","published":"2026-08-17T11:04:49.766Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"VulnCheck","cwe_ids":["CWE-73"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/74xxx/CVE-2026-74884.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/74xxx/CVE-2026-74884.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/jahlives/openssl_encrypt/security/advisories/GHSA-8jpj-w975-rwv5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-74884"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openssl-encrypt-before-path-traversal-via-plugin-id"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/jahlives/openssl_encrypt","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"768df5cd1910e349509f07a27eeac6951e0003bf"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:jahlives:openssl_encrypt:*:*:*:*:*:python:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.4.0"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","CPE_RANGE"]}}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-74884.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"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"}]}
