### Note
* OpenEXR support in OpenCV is optional. Source builds may include a bundled 3rdparty OpenEXR 2.3.0, but runtime support must be explicitly enabled via `OPENCV_IO_ENABLE_OPENEXR`. Users can also build OpenCV against a system-installed OpenEXR library.
* Support is disabled by default due to historical security considerations with malformed EXR files in older OpenEXR versions. Upgrading to OpenEXR 3.x is not a drop-in change and requires API and ABI adaptations.
