    1 known vulnerability, worst rated warning

  • 50.0.2Upgrade to this

    Latest release. Released Sep 30, 2026.

    No known vulnerabilities

50.0.2 came out on Sep 30, 2026. A coding agent trained before then doesn’t know it exists, so it may suggest an older release. AI knowledge cutoff dates

Hand the fix to your coding agent

One task with the upgrade, the file to change and why. Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.

How this page is checked

StackPrism asks OSV.dev which advisories affect exactly cryptography 42.0.5, merges duplicates filed under several ids, and ranks them with CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list and FIRST EPSS. Release dates and deprecation come from deps.dev and PyPI. No AI writes this page: every sentence comes from that data, refreshed every few hours.

Last checked against PyPI, OSV.dev, deps.dev, CISA KEV and FIRST EPSS.
