CVE-2026-74883 records a Unknown severity vulnerability in openssl_encrypt before 1.4.0 Sandbox Bypass via pathlib and io. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps jahlives/openssl_encrypt (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
A CVSS score is not reported in the current record. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.0 contain a sandbox bypass vulnerability where the plugin sandbox fails to restrict alternative file access methods like pathlib.Path and io.open. Attackers can import pathlib or io modules to read and write arbitrary files, completely bypassing the restricted_open file access controls.
