CVE-2026-26007 (cryptography) — CWE-345 / CVSS v3 6.5 Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated Attack surface: `public_key_from_numbers` Patched: `46.0.5` — apply immediately Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs. Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
❓ What is the problem
**A vulnerability** (CWE-345) exists in cryptography. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via ``public_key_from_numbers`` without authentication.
📍 Affected scope
cryptography — . Attack surface: `public_key_from_numbers`.
🔥 Severity
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.5/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally
🔧 How to fix
Update to **46.0.5**.
🛡️ Workaround
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
🔍 Detection
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run `grep -r 'cryptography' .` against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response Actions (7 steps)

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'cryptography' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で `cryptography` を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 6
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade cryptography to 46.0.5

    ステージング環境で 46.0.5 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 3 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。

  3. 7
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 3 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
