CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedOpenSSL versions prior to 1.4.9 are vulnerable due to improper handling of attacker-controlled key_id values, which can lead to the execution of escape sequences in terminal output during decryption auto-detection. This flaw allows attackers to manipulate the display and potentially forge authenticity verification blocks in encrypted files. Organizations using affected versions of OpenSSL should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description
openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.9 fail to escape attacker-controlled key_id values printed to stderr during decrypt auto-detection. Attackers can craft encrypted files with malicious key_id containing escape sequences to repaint terminal output and forge authenticity verification blocks.
