The most alarming flaw, identified as CVE-2026-45447, is a heap user-after-free bug found in a PKCS#7 verification function. Discovered through collaborative efforts between a California researcher and AI companies like Anthropic and Google, this vulnerability can be exploited by sending a specially crafted PKCS#7 or S\/MIME signed message. The ensuing heap corruption could result in code execution or application crashes. Moderate-severity flaws in the patched list could allow an attacker to decrypt communications, launch DoS attacks, or bypass integrity validation. Medium-severity flaws allow an attacker to trick systems into accepting fake certificate and key pairs, while low-severity vulnerabilities might facilitate crashes, message forgery, and the theft of private keys. With high-severity OpenSSL vulnerabilities rare, CVE-2026-45447 marks the second significant flaw of 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Points:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>OpenSSL patched 18 vulnerabilities, including a critical remote code execution flaw (CVE-2026-45447).<\/li>\n<li>The high-severity  vulnerability involves heap user-after-free in PKCS#7 verification, exploitable through crafted messages.<\/li>\n<li>Moderate flaws could enable encrypted communication decryption, DoS attacks, and arbitrary code execution.<\/li>\n<li>Medium-severity flaws allow attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms.<\/li>\n<li>Low-severity vulnerabilities are less critical but can cause crashes, message forgery, and key theft.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenSSL Patches High-Severity Vulnerability Found With AI https:\/\/www.securityweek.com\/openssl-patches-high-severity-vulnerability-found-with-ai\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-09 12:47:58 Source Domain: www.securityweek.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":230983,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.securityweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/OpenSSL-communications-traffic.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[26,27],"class_list":["post-230982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-ai","tag-vulnerability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230982"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230982"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":230984,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230982\/revisions\/230984"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
