Critical OpenSSL Vulnerabilities: CRYPTO-BOX® Libraries Not Affected

8 March 2026

The Smarx OS/CBIOS libraries, responsible for communication with the CRYPTO-BOX, utilize components from the open-source encryption library OpenSSL.


Recently, two critical vulnerabilities in the OpenSSL project were disclosed:

  •     CVE-2025-15467
  •     CVE-2025-9230

Great news is, that after a thorough analysis, we confirm that the libraries included in the Smarx OS Protection Kit (PPK) for the CRYPTO-BOX are not affected by these vulnerabilities. The impacted OpenSSL functions are neither used in our implementation nor exposed via our API or any application interfaces.

As a result, the vulnerable code paths in OpenSSL remain inactive within the CRYPTO-BOX libraries.
