OpenSSL 9.8 is the copy used by the integrated PHP.
4D is not using PHP in the context of a public web server.
it has no impact on security.

I wasn't aware of jQuery,
but it looks like the welcome dialog uses it.
again, it has no impact on security.

---

as for keeping the libraries up-to-date:

4D already does that for the core libraries that has actual impact on security,
for the server, encryption, and hash features.

the OpenSSL library used by 4D itself is updated with every other R release. 
(see release notes)

17R2 is OpenSSL 1.0.2n  7 Dec 2017 same for 17.0 HF4
16R6 is OpenSSL 1.0.2h 3 May 2016
15R5 is OpenSSL 1.0.1p 9 Jul 2015

but I am not sure if the same should be done for parts that are irrelevant to 
security,
such as the welcome dialog or PHP Execute.

---

how a certain validation tool defines security is outside 4D's control.

but you can decide to add any third party code to your 4D application in your 
built product,
so it seems reasonable that you should just update the libraries yourself in 
this instance,
in order to satisfy those tools that does a blanket check on the versions of 
known libraries.
