CVE-2026-81715: Jahlives OpenSSL Encrypt

Low severity, CVSS 3.3. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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. Fixed in 1.4.9.

Affected products

• Jahlives OpenSSL Encrypt: before 1.4.9 (fixed in 1.4.9)
