openssl_encrypt versions before 1.4.0 contain an insecure default configuration that trusts the entire RFC 1918 private address space in IntegrityProxyConfig trusted_proxies. Attackers on private networks can forge client certificate headers to bypass mTLS authentication when ProxyAuth validation is relaxed or modified.
