Research direction

Start by reviewing the OpenSSL issue linked in the report and locating the existing managed compositor and OpenSSL-version checks in the runtime. Confirm when Composite ML-DSA support is available, then verify that supported OpenSSL versions use the OpenSSL compositor while older versions retain the managed path.

Description

area-System.Security
