Quick fix
PYSEC-2026-3761 — openssl-encrypt: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'openssl-encrypt>=1.4.0'Details
openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.0 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the _is_safe_path method where the plugin_id parameter is not sanitized before constructing the plugin config directory path. Attackers can declare a malicious plugin_id containing path traversal sequences like '../' to access arbitrary directories outside the intended plugin directory.
