The standard input includes the recipient or identity string,  and the random file key (if encrypting) or the header of the file (if decrypting). The format is constrained by the [age-plugin](https://c2sp.org/age-plugin) protocol.\n\nAn equivalent issue was fixed in [the reference Go implementation of age](https://github.com/FiloSottile/age), see advisory [GHSA-32gq-x56h-299c](https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/security/advisories/GHSA-32gq-x56h-299c).\n\nThanks to ⬡-49016 for reporting this issue.","published":"2024-12-18T18:21:55Z","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:21.295792603Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"rage","fixedVersion":"0.6.1"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"age","fixedVersion":"0.6.1"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"age","fixedVersion":"0.7.2"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"age","fixedVersion":"0.8.2"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"age","fixedVersion":"0.9.3"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"age","fixedVersion":"0.10.1"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"age","fixedVersion":"0.11.1"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"rage","fixedVersion":"0.7.2"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"rage","fixedVersion":"0.8.2"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"rage","fixedVersion":"0.9.3"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"rage","fixedVersion":"0.10.1"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"rage","fixedVersion":"0.11.1"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/str4d/rage/commit/703152ecfa86f27952a35b57dd525ed39396a227","label":"str4d/rage@703152e"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/str4d/rage/security/advisories/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/str4d/rage/commit/703152ecfa86f27952a35b57dd525ed39396a227"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/str4d/rage"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2024-0432.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2024-0433.html"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-09-10T03:50:21.295792603Z"}}
