If you mean the OpenSSL CLI, it's hard to think of a more footgun-y cryptographic tool than the one that:

* defaults to unauthenticated encryption

* buries its one authenticated mode

* requires explicit command-line nonces

* defaults to an MD5 KDF

You could probably keep going for another 10 bullets. Never use the OpenSSL CLI for anything other than TLS stuff.
