Newly released CVEs across every platform — sleek to read, verbose on demand, and served raw as markdown for AI and agent ingestion. Severity reads as depth: the deeper the contact, the graver the threat.
Depth = severity + exploitation
CVE-2026-81718High· 7.5openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.9 use under-parameterized PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 with only 100,000 iterations to protect PQC keyfile private keys and 10,000 iterations for dual-encryption file-password verification. Attackers who obtain …

CVE-2026-81704High· 7.5openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.9 contain a weak key derivation vulnerability in the D-Bus CryptoService.EncryptFile handler that uses unstretched SHA-256 instead of Argon2id. Attackers can perform offline password guessing against e…
CVE-2026-81702Critical· 9.8openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 fails to re-derive and validate fingerprints when loading identities from identity.json, allowing attackers to substitute public keys in identity stores. Attackers can replace legitimate public keys with thei…
CVE-2026-81694Low· 3.3openssl-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 filen…
CVE-2026-81689High· 7.5openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.9 derive the remote-pepper wrap key using unsalted HKDF-SHA256 or bare SHA-256 of the password, allowing identical keys across all users and files. Attackers with access to wrapped pepper blobs can pre…
CVE-2026-81680Medium· 4.0openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.9 fail to authenticate recovery-slot presence in envelope-format encrypted files, allowing attackers to remove recovery slots without re-encrypting the payload. Attackers can modify the file header to …
CVE-2026-81721High· 7.5openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 fails to validate KDF cost parameters in encrypted file metadata and keystore headers, allowing attackers to trigger unbounded memory allocation. Attackers can craft malicious encrypted files declaring arbitr…
CVE-2026-81719High· 7.8openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 executes untrusted third-party plugins with insufficient controls: the plugin signature policy defaulted to WARN, so an unsigned/unverifiable non-built-in plugin was compiled and executed in the host process …
CVE-2026-81717Low· 3.5openssl_encrypt (pip package openssl-encrypt) before 1.4.9 contains two weaknesses in the portable USB drive feature, whose threat model treats the removable drive as untrusted (attacker with physical write access). USBDriveCreator._veri…
CVE-2026-81716Medium· 5.2openssl_encrypt (pip: openssl-encrypt) versions before 1.4.9 contain a path traversal flaw in PluginSandbox._is_safe_path, which authorized file access using a bare string-prefix match. A sandboxed plugin without the READ_FILES permissio…
CVE-2026-81714High· 7.0openssl_encrypt (pip: openssl-encrypt) versions <= 1.4.8 use suffix-tolerant fingerprint matching in enroll_trust_key when binding a plugin-signing trust anchor. An operator who confirms a short (forgeable, ~32-bit) GPG key id could unkn…
CVE-2026-81693High· 7.5openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 fails to validate the total field from QR JSON payloads before materializing ranges. Attackers can supply crafted QR images with extremely large total values to trigger unbounded memory allocation and cause d…
CVE-2026-81691High· 7.5openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.9 fail to validate server URLs in login and register_with_email functions, accepting unencrypted http:// URLs and unconfigured hosts. Attackers on the network path can intercept cleartext credentials i…

CVE-2026-81688High· 7.5openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.9 store an unkeyed SHA-256 hash of the plaintext in the cleartext file header metadata. Attackers can read this hash without the password to confirm guessed plaintexts offline or fingerprint identical …
CVE-2026-81686Medium· 6.2openssl_encrypt 1.4.x before 1.4.9 contains an optional D-Bus crypto service whose org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set method performs neither a polkit authorization check nor value validation. Any local user on the system bus can call S…
The beta is over. VulnSea now runs at vulnsea.com, every old beta link redirects to the same page, and your account, API keys and watchlists came with it. Plus a round of hardening, faster pages, and new request limits agents should know about.
A summary of everything that shipped over the last two weeks — the whole corpus is open, agents get change feeds, alias resolution and EPSS movers, and the data now includes CVE.org, vendor CSAF, aggregated exploits and per-source scores.
A step-by-step guide to plugging VulnSea into automated and agentic workflows — poll the delta, triage without burning tokens, match an SBOM, and let an MCP-native model do the reasoning.
