CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedOpenSSL versions prior to 1.4.0 are vulnerable to an arbitrary code execution flaw due to insecure handling of .so module loading in the Whirlpool hash implementation. This vulnerability allows attackers to exploit broad glob patterns to load malicious shared object files, potentially leading to native code execution. Organizations using affected versions of OpenSSL should prioritize immediate updates to mitigate this critical risk.

Original NVD Description
openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.0 contain an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the Whirlpool hash implementation that uses broad glob patterns to load .so modules without integrity verification. Attackers can place malicious .so files matching the whirlpool*py313*.so pattern in site-packages directories to achieve native code execution when the module is loaded.
