CVE-2026-21439 — badkeys vulnerable to ASCII control character injection on console via malformed input

2026-10-01T10:42:41.246273+00:00

Affected: badkeys

badkeys is a tool and library for checking cryptographic public keys for known vulnerabilities. In versions 0.0.15 and below, an attacker may inject content with ASCII control characters like vertical tabs, ANSI escape sequences, etc., that can create misleading output of the badkeys command-line tool. This impacts scanning DKIM keys (both --dkim and --dkim-dns), SSH keys (--ssh-lines mode), and filenames in various modes. This issue is fixed in version 0.0.16.

Affected: PyPI: badkeys

### Impact

An attacker may inject content with ASCII control characters like vertical tabs, ANSI escape sequences, etc., that can create misleading output of the `badkeys` command-line tool. This impacts scanning DKIM keys (both `--dkim` and `--dkim-dns`), SSH keys (`--ssh-lines` mode), and filenames in various modes.

### Patches

This has been fixed with the following commits: https://github.com/badkeys/badkeys/commit/de631f69f040974bb5fb442cdab9a1d904c64087 https://github.com/badkeys/badkeys/commit/635a2f3b1b50a895d8b09ec8629efc06189f349a
