{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-81705","description":"openssl-encrypt before 1.4.9 fails to redact the file password in its --debug argv dump when the password is supplied via bundled short-option spellings (e.g. -apHunter2) or abbreviated long-option spellings (e.g. --passw). The sanitizer only recognized exact option names, --option=value forms, and tokens starting with -p, so these spellings bypass the redaction chokepoint and the cleartext password is written to stderr. Anyone with access to that output (terminal scrollback, merged 2>&1 output, CI job logs, or the GUI-s persistent debug log) can recover the password.","publishedAt":"2026-08-27T17:21:01","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-27T20:18:53","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-81705","cvssScore":7.5,"cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","epssProbability":0.00334,"riskScore":0.77,"affectedProduct":"openssl-encrypt","affectedVersions":"<1.4.9","vulnerabilityType":"Library","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-81705","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-81705","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-81705","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-81705","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-81705","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-81705","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-81705","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-81705"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-81705"}}
