Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)

Overview openssl-encrypt is an A package for secure file encryption and decryption based on modern ciphers using heavy-compute-load chaining of hashing and KDF to generate strong encryption password based on users provided password to ensure secure encryption of files Affected versions of this...

CVE-2026-74887

opensslencrypt before 1.4.0 imports Python's non-cryptographic 'random' module Mersenne Twister PRNG at line 15 of opensslencrypt/modules/pqc.py. No direct calls to random. were present in the code, so no cryptographic operation is currently affected; however, the import creates a hazard that...

opensslencrypt before 1.4.0 imports Python's non-cryptographic 'random' module Mersenne Twister PRNG at line 15 of opensslencrypt/modules/pqc.py. No direct calls to random. were present in the code, so no cryptographic operation is currently affected; however, the import creates a hazard that...

CVE-2026-74887

openssl_encrypt before 1.4.0 imports Python's non-cryptographic random module (Mersenne Twister) in modules/pqc.py line 15. No current code calls random.*, so no crypto operation is actively affected, but the import creates a latent hazard: future code could accidentally use predictable PRNG outp...
