PYSEC-2026-3763

Quick fix

PYSEC-2026-3763 — 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 plugin sandbox bypass vulnerability where the PluginImportGuard blocks a different set of modules than the AST analyzer's DANGEROUS_MODULES set. Attackers can bypass AST analysis through string obfuscation or encoding to import unblocked dangerous modules like sys, shutil, multiprocessing, importlib, and pickle for arbitrary code execution.
