The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote host is prior to 3.0.14. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 3.0.14 advisory.

Is there a question here? Or is this just a statement?

2024-04-18T14:55:48.6733333+00:00 Still not a PowerShell question . . .
I'd expect the way to update the version of OpenSSL is to download the version of the software from the same place you got the version you're currently running and then distribute the update to your servers using whatever software distribution method you use for any other 3rd-party applications.

OpenSSL looks to be just another 3rd party application. Maybe it got bundled (installed) with some other software product.
Refer to the OpenSSL documentation.

2024-04-18T19:20:06.1033333+00:00 In that case the answer is fairly standard... download the newest version to a test server, run it, and see if it installs. If it doesn't work, uninstall the old version, reboot, and install the newest version. Test to see if your applications still work on the test server before updating production servers.
