Bundled crypto++?

I'm afraid so. And a quite old one probably. And it's not the only bundled library.

This project has a lot of technical debt and the current maintainer seems to have lost interest in it.
We have four open bugs because of upstream issues related to deprecated code. Sometimes we even submitted patches to fix those issues, with no response.
