Answering here as well for posterity.

The tracking bug for this issue is XWALK-3217. Long story short, until
Crosswalk 9 the Chromium versions we built upon all used their own
OpenSSL copy on Android (that's the part of the stack the warning is
coming from). For Crosswalk 8 and 9, the OpenSSL version is 1.0.1e plus
security fixes (such as the Heartbleed ones) backported from 1.0.1h.
Since Chromium backported those fixes but did not update OpenSSL's
version number, the Play Store consequently flagged Crosswalk-based apps
as vulnerable.

Starting with Crosswalk 10, we use a Chromium version that ships
BoringSSL instead of OpenSSL, so the problem no longer exists. If you
can, please move to Crosswalk 10 (it is currently in beta but expected
to be moved to stable soon). If you cannot, you can submit an appeal to
the Play Store if your app ends up being suspended (see the comments in
XWALK-3217), since it is not actually vulnerable.
