Node patched eMudhra and Brotli last week, but updating Node only covered part of the problem. Other applications carried their own copies of Brotli or still trusted the compromised certificates, leaving teams with more software to find and fix. socket.dev/blog/emudhra...

One date worth pinning on the cert side: per Google's security blog, Chrome is removing emSign ECC Root CA - G3 from its root store around 27 Oct, on top of the blocklists already shipped. That is a root-store change, so certs still chaining to it need reissuing, not a bundle rebuild.
