CVE-2026-81694
LowCVSS 3.3Summary
openssl-encrypt (pip package, versions <= 1.4.8) fails to sanitize filenames read from untrusted drive data (outside the AES-GCM authenticated manifest) before printing them in the verify-usb command's output. An attacker can plant filenames containing terminal cursor-movement and erase-line control bytes that repaint a forged PASSED verdict on screen, masking actual tamper detection. Fixed in 1.4.9 by routing drive-derived names through sanitize_for_display().
Risk Assessment
A forged PASSED verdict could hide tampering with data on a USB drive, potentially leading to data integrity compromise or use of unauthorized files.
Recommendation
Update openssl-encrypt to version 1.4.9 or later. Additionally, exercise caution when using verify-usb on untrusted drives.
