Critical (9.3) in jahlives openssl encrypt. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in openssl-encrypt 1.4.0.
openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.0 contain a logging bug in restore_hidden_modules() that logs module counts after clearing, always showing zero restored modules and corrupting audit trails. Additionally, a race condition exists between module hiding and import hook installation where another thread could re-import blocked modules in multi-threaded environments.
