<li>Grabs some C and Assembly code from BoringSSL, which no one except Google should be using as it doesn't have versions nor security notices</li>
<li><code>x86_{32,64}</code> and <code>arm{32,64}</code> only due to it using assembly and released versions not supporting a fallback to portable code. So for other architectures like ppc64, riscv, … you need to mangle the dependency tree to use patches / forks or the latest git.</li>

+ <p>The real bug is formatting URLs in the code of your application with string formatting. URLs are a structure, therefore they should be properly encoded and decoded as such regardless of them being somewhat text-based. There's prior art for this in <a href="https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.15.4/URI.html#__struct__/0">Elixir</a> and <a href="https://docs.harelang.org/net/uri">Hare</a>.</p>
