This is a side effect of an intense hacking campaign directed against Apple by its biggest competitors. If you can't beat 'em, hack 'em!

Those extra paths were added in Ventura. If you've only just noticed them, then perhaps you had some 3rd party hack like Homebrew. Sounds like you got off easy. Homebrew only disabled your system security. At least Terminal is still functional. And the Sonoma update restored those security paths.

Cryptexes started out for iPhones intended for use by security researchers:
Apple Security Research Device - Apple Support
Cryptexes have subsequently been implemented across various Apple platforms.
For what little other documentation is available, see man cryptex
