• Max score is 1000. Note that the real score may have changed since the PR was raised.
• This PR was automatically created by Snyk using the credentials of a real user.
• Some vulnerabilities couldn't be fully fixed and so Snyk will still find them when the project is tested again. This may be because the vulnerability existed within more than one direct dependency, but not all of the affected dependencies could be upgraded.

This is a massive upgrade, jumping from version 3.4.7 to 46.0.6. This range covers dozens of major releases and introduces significant breaking changes, primarily related to the build environment and supported runtimes.

Key Breaking Changes:

• Python Version: Support for Python 3.6 was dropped in version 40.0.0, and support for Python 3.7 was dropped in version 46.0.0. The target version requires Python 3.8 or newer.
• OpenSSL Requirement: Support for OpenSSL versions below 1.1.1d was removed in version 40.0.0. Furthermore, support for OpenSSL versions below 3.0 is now deprecated as of 46.0.0, and pre-compiled wheels are built against OpenSSL 3.x. Environments building from source will need to ensure a compatible OpenSSL version is available.
• Rust Compiler: Building cryptography from source requires a Rust compiler. The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) has been increased multiple times, from 1.41 in the original version to 1.56 in v40.0.0 and higher in subsequent releases.
• API Removals: Support for binary elliptic curves (SECT* classes) was deprecated in version 46.0.5 and will be removed in a future release due to security considerations and infrequent use.

Recommendation: Due to the extensive changes across numerous versions, this upgrade must be handled with extreme care. Developers should verify their application in a test environment that matches the new requirements (Python 3.8+, modern OpenSSL/Rust for source builds). Code using advanced or now-deprecated APIs will require refactoring.
