A non-privileged user or program can put code and a config file in a known non-privileged path (under `C:/usr/local/`) that will make curl automatically run the code (as an openssl "engine") on invocation. If that curl is invoked by a privileged user it can do anything it wants.

CWE-94: Code Injection

I think CWE-426 (Untrusted Search Path) would be more appropriate for this bug.
