{"id":"CVE-2026-81714","summary":"openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 Plugin Signing Trust Anchor Enrollment Bypass","details":"openssl_encrypt (pip: openssl-encrypt) versions \u003c= 1.4.8 use suffix-tolerant fingerprint matching in enroll_trust_key when binding a plugin-signing trust anchor. An operator who confirms a short (forgeable, ~32-bit) GPG key id could unknowingly enroll an attacker's colliding key as a trusted anchor, which then vouches for malicious plugins under the ENFORCE signature policy. Version 1.4.9 fixes this by requiring the confirmed value to exactly match the full primary-key fingerprint (case-insensitive, whitespace-stripped).","aliases":["GHSA-xg52-638v-jc5m","PYSEC-2026-3799"],"modified":"2026-09-04T03:47:25.089150726Z","published":"2026-08-27T14:51:09.904Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-347"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/81xxx/CVE-2026-81714.json","cna_assigner":"VulnCheck"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/81xxx/CVE-2026-81714.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/jahlives/openssl_encrypt/security/advisories/GHSA-xg52-638v-jc5m"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-81714"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openssl-encrypt-before-1.4.9-plugin-signing-trust-anchor-enrollment-bypass"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/jahlives/openssl_encrypt","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"39b0a010cae90520f74b7194f61fedd43af04ef8"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:jahlives:openssl_encrypt:*:*:*:*:*:python:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.4.9"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","CPE_RANGE"]}}],"versions":["v1.4.7","v1.4.6","v1.4.5","v1.4.4","v1.4.2","v1.4.1rc2","v1.4.1rc1","v1.4.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-81714.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:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
