High CVSS 7.5

CVE-2026-74892

NVD analysis in progress

openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.0 contain a hardcoded default secret key in the standalone telemetry server configuration that is used for API key hashing. Attackers who know this default value can predict or forge API key hashes to compromise telemetry API authentication.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data.
Weakness
Credentials are hard-coded in the product and identical across every installation.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
