Apple Blocks Vulnerable eMudhra Certificates; macOS Command-Line Fix Pending
Apple has blocked 12 digital certificates issued by Indian company eMudhra due to vulnerabilities in their cryptographic keys, which could allow attackers to impersonate legitimate websites. While most Apple users are protected automatically across Safari, Mail, and other services, some macOS command-line tools like curl, git, and Python may still accept these certificates. Apple plans to release a macOS software update to address this gap, but no release date has been announced. There is no evidence the compromised certificates have been exploited.
