CVE-2023-37920: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

July 25, 2023 (updated August 12, 2023)

Certifi is a curated collection of Root Certificates for validating the trustworthiness of SSL certificates while verifying the identity of TLS hosts. Certifi prior to version 2023.07.22 recognizes “e-Tugra” root certificates. e-Tugra’s root certificates were subject to an investigation prompted by reporting of security issues in their systems. Certifi 2023.07.22 removes root certificates from “e-Tugra” from the root store.
