Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.0 contain a sandbox bypass vulnerability where the plugin sandbox fails to restrict alternative file access methods like pathlib.Path and io.open. Attackers can import pathlib or io modules to read and write arbitrary files, completely bypassing the restricted_open file access controls.
AnalysisAI
Sandbox bypass in the openssl_encrypt Python plugin (jahlives, all versions before 1.4.0) allows attackers to completely circumvent the restricted_open file access control layer by importing Python's standard pathlib or io modules within the sandbox context, enabling arbitrary file read and write on the host filesystem. The vulnerability is exploitable over the network with no privileges required but requires passive user interaction (UI:P per CVSS 4.0), scoring 8.7 on the CVSS 4.0 scale. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that attacker-controlled or attacker-influenced code reach and execute within the openssl_encrypt plugin's sandbox environment - this is the sandbox's intended operating context (e.g., processing user-supplied encrypted content or plugin scripts). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 reflects high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the vulnerable system (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H), with no scope change to subsequent systems (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker supplies crafted input to a system that processes it through the openssl_encrypt plugin sandbox - for example, an encrypted payload or plugin configuration value. Within the sandbox execution context, the attacker's code executes import pathlib and calls pathlib.Path('/etc/passwd').read_text() to exfiltrate sensitive credentials, or overwrites a configuration file to achieve persistence or privilege escalation. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade openssl_encrypt to version 1.4.0 or later, which is the vendor-released patch addressing this sandbox bypass. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all systems running jahlives versions before 1.4.0 and document their business criticality. …
