GHSA-xqr8-7jwr-rhp7 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) CWE-345 vulnerability in certifi. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-xqr8-7jwr-rhp7 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Removal of e-Tugra root certificate
Real-World Exposure
certifiReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Certifi 2023.07.22 removes root certificates from "e-Tugra" from the root store. These are in the process of being removed from Mozilla's trust store.
e-Tugra's root certificates are being removed pursuant to an investigation prompted by reporting of security issues in their systems. Conclusions of Mozilla's investigation can be found here.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐍PyPI | certifi | ≥ 2015.4.28&&< 2023.7.22 | 2023.7.22 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for certifi. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update certifi to 2023.7.22 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xqr8-7jwr-rhp7 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 pinpoints whether GHSA-xqr8-7jwr-rhp7 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-xqr8-7jwr-rhp7. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-xqr8-7jwr-rhp7 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-xqr8-7jwr-rhp7 across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
