GitHub macOS runners still vulnerable to eMudhra CA compromise, TLS protection ineffective

charliermarsh · x · 2026-11-03

Ruff author Charlie Marsh flags that GitHub's public macOS runner images remain unpatched against the eMudhra intermediate CA compromise, per issue #15228: the system cert bundle at /etc/ssl/cert.pem still chains to the compromised CA, and Homebrew-updated curl/git are disabled on the images. Logs from an xcode-27 runner show curl and git still completing HTTP 200 requests against attacker CA-signed hosts, meaning TLS on outbound CI traffic is effectively unauthenticated.
