Description
Transifex command-line client before 0.10 does not validate X.509 certificates for data transfer connections, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof a Transifex server via an arbitrary certificate. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-2073.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for transifex-client, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update transifex-client to 0.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2013-7110 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
