TREE NEWS reports: CertiK warned that crypto trading bots and exchange applications may still be exposed to the eMudhra certificate flaw even after Big Tech browser fixes, because those patches may not protect all software. The security firm said browser-level updates do not necessarily cover the non-browser programs that bots and exchange apps rely on.
CertiK: Browser fixes may leave crypto bots exposed to eMudhra flaw
The warning shifts attention from browser patching to the wider software supply chain that crypto trading infrastructure depends on. Bots and exchange applications often run outside the browser sandbox, so a fix at the browser layer can create a false sense of closure for operators who assume their stack is covered. What matters now is whether the underlying certificate issue is addressed at the library or application level, and whether exchanges and bot operators verify their own dependencies rather than waiting on browser vendors. That gap between consumer-facing fixes and backend exposure is the open question.
