OpenSSL versions prior to 1.4.0 are vulnerable due to improper CORS configuration, allowing the `allow_origins` setting to be a wildcard while enabling `allow_credentials`. This flaw permits attackers to craft malicious websites that can make authenticated cross-origin requests to the API, potentially compromising user data. Organizations utilizing affected OpenSSL versions should prioritize updating to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information.
