build(deps): update dependency cryptography to v46 [security] (hotfix/4.1) - autoclosed
Metadata
Current evaluation
Autoclosed unmerged after 219 days; cryptography 46 later landed on main via #2583 (e66a25b5) and was advanced to 46.0.6 by #2617.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: Renovate autoclosed #2570 without merging it after 219 days, with no maintainer resolution. Main independently received cryptography 46.0.5 in merged #2583, then 46.0.6 in #2617.

### GitHub Vulnerability Alerts
#### [CVE-2026-26007](https://redirect.github.com/pyca/cryptography/security/advisories/GHSA-r6ph-v2qm-q3c2)
## Vulnerability Summary
The `public_key_from_numbers` (or `EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key()`), `EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key()`, `load_der_public_key()` and `load_pem_public_key()` functions do not verify that the point belongs to the expected prime-order subgroup of the curve.
This missing validation allows an attacker to provide a public key point `P` from a small-order subgroup. This can lead to security issues in various situations, such as the most commonly used signature verification (ECDSA) and shared key negotiation (ECDH). When the victim computes the shared secret as `S = [victim_private_key]P` via ECDH, this leaks information about `victim_private_key mod (small_subgroup_order)`. For curves with cofactor > 1, this reveals the least significant bits of the private key. When these weak public keys are used in ECDSA , it's easy to forge signatures on the small subgroup.
Only SECT curves are impacted by this.
