Summary

The EUVD entry, scored 9.3 under CVSS v3.1, describes a flaw in the openssl-encrypt pip package, versions 1.4.8 and earlier. The entry says filenames read from untrusted drive data are printed without sanitization by the verify-usb command.

If you use openssl-encrypt

Upgrade the openssl-encrypt pip package beyond 1.4.8

Avoid running verify-usb on untrusted drives until patched

Treat terminal output from verify-usb as untrusted

· Mastodon: “openssl-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.” Source
