The items that name it 26
AES-256-CBC and RSA key wrapping
Heartbleed, historical comparison; the page does not name OpenSSL, so listed as Heartbleed only
Targeted by MicroScan vulnerability scanning
Different OpenSSL versions historically disagreed on ECDSA signature encoding edge cases, prompting Bitcoin's BIP66.
Used (enc -d -aes-256-cbc) to decrypt the encrypted blob/ELF payload stages
Used by Huntress analysts to inspect/demonstrate the rogue certificate authority and forged VirusTotal certificate (Figure 26)
6 CVEs in all of 2025, 39 through 2026-08-05, 18 corroborated AI discoveries and 9 AI-affiliated with method unverified
Used to generate AUTH_SECRET via 'openssl rand -hex 32'
Used (unsuccessfully at first, due to a transcription error in the recovered AES key) to attempt decryption of the payload with the derived AES-256-CTR key/nonce.
Used by researchers to cross-validate AEAD (ChaCha20-Poly1305) decryption of malware strings
Example of a bundled vulnerable library historically causing dependency risk via old versions
Version 3.5.0 (released April 2025) added support for ML-DSA and SLH-DSA; less than 15% of observed instances use a version supporting PQC; ~4% of companies have at least one OpenSSL instance misconfigured to exclude ML-KEM key exchange groups
Built-in tool leveraged by attackers to encrypt virtual machine volumes directly, avoiding the need to upload custom ransomware binaries
Used to generate the RSA private key and derive the base64 public key for DKIM signing
one of 78 projects with CVEs credited to AISLE's analyzer; example of a mature open-source project covered by HoF-Bench's underlying CVE set
evaluated as target codebase for vulnerability discovery
