OpenAI rotates certificates after TanStack breach
OpenAI is rotating code-signing certificates for its desktop applications following a supply chain attack on the TanStack ecosystem that compromised employee devices. macOS users must update ChatGPT and Codex by June 12, 2026, to ensure continued service and security.
The "Mini Shai-Hulud" campaign highlights a critical vulnerability in modern CI/CD pipelines where SLSA attestations can be bypassed via build-environment hijacking.
- –Attackers used "Pwn Request" exploits in GitHub Actions to poison TanStack release artifacts with valid signatures.
- –While OpenAI's production systems remain secure, the exfiltration of signing keys from developer workstations posed a significant risk of malware spoofing.
- –The hard June 12 deadline is dictated by macOS security policies, which will block execution for any application signed with the compromised, soon-to-be-revoked certificates.
- –This incident underscores the need for more robust isolation of OIDC tokens and secrets within automated build workflows.
