Focus on pyopenssl vulnerabilities and metrics.
Last updated: 29 Mar 2026, 22:25 UTC
This page consolidates all known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with pyopenssl. We track both calendar-based metrics (using fixed periods) and rolling metrics (using gliding windows) to give you a comprehensive view of security trends and risk evolution. Use these insights to assess risk and plan your patching strategy.
For a broader perspective on cybersecurity threats, explore the comprehensive list of CVEs by vendor and product. Stay updated on critical vulnerabilities affecting major software and hardware providers.
Total pyopenssl CVEs: 2
Earliest CVE date: 08 Oct 2018, 15:29 UTC
Latest CVE date: 18 Mar 2026, 00:16 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2026-27448
30-day Count (Rolling): 1
365-day Count (Rolling): 1
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0%
Year Variation (Calendar): 0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): 0.0%
Average CVSS: 3.4
Max CVSS: 6.8
Critical CVEs (≥9): 0
| Range | Count |
|---|---|
| 0.0-3.9 | 1 |
| 4.0-6.9 | 1 |
| 7.0-8.9 | 0 |
| 9.0-10.0 | 0 |
These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for pyopenssl, sorted by severity first and recency.
pyOpenSSL is a Python wrapper around the OpenSSL library. Starting in version 0.14.0 and prior to version 26.0.0, if a user provided callback to `set_tlsext_servername_callback` raised an unhandled exception, this would result in a connection being accepted. If a user was relying on this callback for any security-sensitive behavior, this could allow bypassing it. Starting in version 26.0.0, unhandled exceptions now result in rejecting the connection.
Python Cryptographic Authority pyopenssl version prior to version 17.5.0 contains a CWE-416: Use After Free vulnerability in X509 object handling that can result in Use after free can lead to possible denial of service or remote code execution.. This attack appear to be exploitable via Depends on the calling application and if it retains a reference to the memory.. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 17.5.0.
