Real-World Exposure
rustls-webpki🦀rustls-webpkiReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
rustls-webpki (rustls/webpki) versions 0.101.0 through 0.103.11 and 0.104.0-alpha releases before 0.104.0-alpha.6 ignore X.509 name constraints that apply to URI names, causing such constraints to be accepted rather than enforced. Because name constraints are restrictions on otherwise properly issued certificates, the flaw is only reachable after successful signature verification and requires a misissued certificate to exploit; the library also provides no API for asserting URI names, and URI name constraints are otherwise unimplemented. Versions 0.103.12 and 0.104.0-alpha.6 reject URI name constraints unconditionally.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for rustls-webpki, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update rustls-webpki to 0.103.12 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-93600 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-93600 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-93600. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-93600 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2026-93600 across crates.io dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
