It updates Tor Browser to 15.0.26, which fixes CVE-2026-113470, and updates certificate authorities used by other applications through Debian's `ca-certificates` package. The release says a compromised intermediate certificate could let an attacker impersonate websites over HTTPS; it identifies Tor exit nodes, their internet service providers, or governments as potential attackers. Onion sites are not vulnerable, and the release says it is unaware of exit nodes using the attack so far. Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 7.0 or later. Installing on a new USB stick instead of upgrading erases its Persistent Storage. ### Source excerpt This release is an emergency release to remove a compromised certificate authority. Changes and updates Update Tor Browser to 15.0.26, which fixes CVE-2026-113470. On October 17, Mozilla blocked the certificates of eMudhra, a certificate authority that had its intermediate certificates compromised. Tor Browser 15.0.26 now blocks all eMudhra certificates as well. Using one of the compromised intermediate certificates, an attacker could impersonate any website, even if the connection is secured with HTTPS. This attack could be performed by a Tor exit node, the Internet service provider of an exit node, or a government. Onion sites are not vulnerable. We are not aware of this attack being used by exit nodes so far. Update the certificate authorities to block all eMudhra certificates in other applications. In addition to Tor Browser , other applications rely on the certificate authorities included in Tails with the ca-certificates Debian package to secure their connections.
