GCVE-110-CRAN-2026-000040

Advisory Published

Vulnetix · Advisory published November 2, 2026

The CRAN package `openssl` (version 2.5.0) was flagged as malicious by automated package analysis (2 corroborating detection(s)). Installing it may execute attacker-controlled code via install-time scripts (configure / cleanup / Makevars) or .onLoad/.onAttach hooks. Verdict path: evidence — for ownership-only paths (owner-known-bad / multi-identity) the change of ownership is a compounding indicator the engine correlated with other signals, not standalone proof. This verdict is produced by static analysis and is subject to human review.
