Path Traversal
AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

opensslencrypt (pip: openssl-encrypt) versions before 1.4.9 contain a path traversal flaw in PluginSandbox.issafepath, which authorized file access using a bare string-prefix match. A sandboxed plugin without the READFILES permission could read or write another plugin's directory that merely shares a name prefix (e.g., .../plugins/foobar matching allowed .../plugins/foo), breaking per-plugin isolation within the same user. Fixed by matching each allowed directory exactly or with a trailing path separator.
