vcpkg is a free and open-source C/C++ package manager. Prior to version 3.6.1#3, vcpkg's Windows builds of OpenSSL set openssldir to a path on the build machine, making that path be attackable later on customer machines. This issue has been patched in version 3.6.1#3.
CVE-2026-34054
This high-severity CVE scores 7.8 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
