The printed value can persist in terminal scrollback, session recordings, or CI logs. Impact is limited because the pepper is derived from a random per-invocation test salt and is salt-bound, so the leaked value cannot be used to decrypt real files. A related plugin issue logged raw prf_data outside the secret-redaction path. Fixed in 1.4.8 (and 1.5.0) by removing the hex dumps and routing plugin debug output through the redaction layer.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-17T11:04:40.202+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-01T15:20:47.578+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"openssl_encrypt","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"jahlives\",\n                    \"product\": \"openssl_encrypt\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"packageURL\": \"pkg:pypi/openssl_encrypt\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"1.4.8\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"1.4.8\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 4.0","vector":"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","score":8.7,"severity":"HIGH"},{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","score":3.3,"severity":"LOW"}],"references":["https://github.com/jahlives/openssl_encrypt/security/advisories/GHSA-p9g8-wvh4-2jmx","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openssl-encrypt-before-hardware-pepper-information-disclosure"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-74870","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-74870","identifiers":["CVE-2026-74870"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
