Answer in brief
CVE-2026-41447 records a High severity (CVSS 7.8) vulnerability in FirmaCheck < 1.3.16 DLL Hijacking via Unvalidated OpenSSL Configuration Path. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Zucchetti S.p.a./FirmaCheck (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 7.8. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

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.
