Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.71%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

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.
