{"id":"CVE-2026-81717","summary":"openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 Integrity Bypass via Added Files","details":"openssl_encrypt (pip package openssl-encrypt) before 1.4.9 contains two weaknesses in the portable USB drive feature, whose threat model treats the removable drive as untrusted (attacker with physical write access). USBDriveCreator._verify_integrity_file only validates files listed in the manifest, so files added to the drive — including a root-level autorun payload — are not detected and integrity verification still passes. Additionally, a globally constant, source-embedded KDF salt (_LEGACY_FIXED_SALT) is used to derive the drive encryption key for any drive lacking a per-drive salt file, defeating precomputation resistance and enabling an offline rainbow-table attack.","aliases":["GHSA-8jx3-27qf-3p97"],"modified":"2026-08-30T03:30:31.684025349Z","published":"2026-08-27T14:51:12.140Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/81xxx/CVE-2026-81717.json","cna_assigner":"VulnCheck","cwe_ids":["CWE-347"]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/81xxx/CVE-2026-81717.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/jahlives/openssl_encrypt/security/advisories/GHSA-8jx3-27qf-3p97"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-81717"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openssl-encrypt-before-1.4.9-integrity-bypass-via-added-files"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/jahlives/openssl_encrypt","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"39b0a010cae90520f74b7194f61fedd43af04ef8"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.4.9"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","DESCRIPTION"]}}],"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-2026-81717.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"}]}
