sgx-dcap-quote-verify-python includes a statically linked copy of OpenSSL. The version of OpenSSL included in sgx-dcap-quote-verify-python 0.0.1..0.0.2 is vulnerable to a security issue. More details about the OpenSSL vulnerabilities themselves can be found at https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230207.txt. Analysis The binding includes OpenSSL version 1.1.1s which is vulnerable to the vulnerabilities disclosed in OpenSSL Security Advisory from the 7th February 2023. The binding does not directly use OpenSSL. The binding calls the SGX Quote Verification Library which uses OpenSSL. Explanation The SGX Quote Verification Library uses OpenSSL as a dependency to perform its cryptographic operations and certificate verification. The OpenSSL security advisory mentions multiple vulnerabilities but I believe the most concerning would be CVE-2023-0286 “X.400 address type confusion in X.509 GeneralName”. Its severity is rated high and the advisory states that “this vulnerability is most…

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-344m-qcjq-xgrf

Advisory: Vulnerable OpenSSL included in sgx-dcap-quote-verify-python
IDs: GHSA-344m-qcjq-xgrf
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-344m-qcjq-xgrf (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:11 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: sgx-dcap-quote-verify-python 0.0.3. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- PyPI sgx-dcap-quote-verify-python: affected < 0.0.3; fixed in 0.0.3

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show sgx-dcap-quote-verify-python`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on sgx-dcap-quote-verify-python.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
