## What is CVE-2026-111943?

CVE-2026-111943 is a vulnerability in Go standard library crypto/x509, published on 21 Oct 2026. 

### Official description

On most platforms, Go uses the given system root certificates. However, in some narrower cases, the system trust stores may not be updated without further action. To defend against the narrower set of cases that may remain affected, a denylist was added in crypto/x509 to return an error when calling Verify with any of the known intermediate certificates that are no longer considered to be trustworthy.

What it is: CVE-2026-111943 is a vulnerability in Go standard library crypto/x509, published on 21 Oct 2026. 
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-111943 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- golang (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.26.10, 1.27.3
- stdlib (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 1.26.10, 1.27.3
- rustls-webpki (crates.io): affected from 0.0.0-0; fixed in 0.103.16, 0.104.0-alpha.8

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
