A sandboxed plugin without the READ_FILES permission could read or write another plugin's directory that merely shares a name prefix (e.g., .../plugins/foobar matching allowed .../plugins/foo), breaking per-plugin isolation within the same user. Fixed by matching each allowed directory exactly or with a trailing path separator.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-27T14:51:11.331+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-01T15:21:36.35+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\": \"1.4.9\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"1.4.9\",\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:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":5.2,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/jahlives/openssl_encrypt/security/advisories/GHSA-vr4h-5xqv-xxxf","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openssl-encrypt-before-1.4.9-plugin-sandbox-path-traversal"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-81716","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-81716","identifiers":["CVE-2026-81716"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
