An attacker can plant filenames containing terminal cursor-movement and erase-line control bytes that repaint a forged PASSED verdict on screen, masking actual tamper detection. Fixed in 1.4.9 by routing drive-derived names through sanitize_for_display().\n\n## Affected packages\n\n- `openssl-encrypt < 1.4.9`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade to a patched release:\n\n- `openssl-encrypt 1.4.9`","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
