PYSEC-2026-3775 — openssl-encrypt: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'openssl-encrypt>=1.4.9'

openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.9 fail to sanitize terminal control characters in file metadata printed by the info command. Attackers can craft malicious files containing escape sequences to repaint terminal output and forge verification information displayed to users.
