Quick fix

PYSEC-2026-3768 — 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 hardcoded default JWT signing secrets in config.py that pass validation checks. Attackers with access to source code can forge valid JWT tokens for any client_id to gain authenticated access to keyserver and telemetry APIs.
