We recommend updating as soon as your schedule permits.

VSA-2026-050: eMudhra Intermediate CA Compromise: Mozilla announced that the private keys of eight eMudhra intermediate certificates have been compromised. XCP-ng 8.3 ships ca-certificates-2021.2.50-73.1.xcpng8.3, which trusts these intermediate certificates in the system trust store. An adversary in a man-in-the-middle position could use them to impersonate websites and read or modify traffic. The new version of ca-certificates-2021.2.50-73.2.xcpng8.3 removes the compromised certificates.

⚠️
If you cannot update right away, VSA-2026-050 describes a manual mitigation that blocklists the affected certificates.
