Does this affect you?

It affects Zucchetti S.p.a. FirmaCheck. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

FirmaCheck for Windows before 1.3.16 contains a DLL hijacking vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by placing a crafted openssl.cnf file in the unvalidated C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL\ directory path. Attackers can write a malicious OpenSSL configuration file referencing an attacker-controlled DLL to achieve code execution at startup process privilege level when FirmaCheck.exe runs automatically at system startup.
