{"id":"PYSEC-2026-3799","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":["CVE-2026-81714","GHSA-xg52-638v-jc5m"],"modified":"2026-09-03T11:00:05.946642329Z","published":"2026-08-27T17:21:01.590Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/jahlives/openssl_encrypt/security/advisories/GHSA-xg52-638v-jc5m"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openssl-encrypt-before-1.4.9-plugin-signing-trust-anchor-enrollment-bypass"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openssl-encrypt","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/openssl-encrypt"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.4.9"}]}],"versions":["0.2.2","0.2.3","0.2.4","0.2.5","0.2.6","0.3.0","0.3.1","0.3.2","0.3.3","0.4.0","0.4.1","0.4.2","0.4.3","0.4.4","0.5.0","0.5.1","0.5.3","0.6.0rc1","0.7.0rc2","0.7.1","0.7.2","0.8.0","0.8.1","0.8.2","0.9.2","1.0.0","1.0.1","1.0.2","1.0.3","1.1.0","1.2.0","1.2.1","1.3.0","1.3.1","1.3.2","1.3.3","1.3.4","1.3.5","1.4.0","1.4.0b3","1.4.0b4","1.4.0b5","1.4.0b6","1.4.0b7","1.4.0b8","1.4.1","1.4.1rc2","1.4.2","1.4.4","1.4.5","1.4.6","1.4.7","1.4.8"],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/blob/main/vulns/openssl-encrypt/PYSEC-2026-3799.yaml"}}],"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/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X"}]}
