    We are responding internally to CVE-2026-111943 related to compromised root certificates. We have assessed Redpanda Cloud and have remediated any clusters secured with mTLS and have mitigated any other potential impacted vectors. We have also patched all Golang runtimes. We will be rolling out updated truststores/images across our fleet in due course which may necessitate a rolling restart of Redpanda brokers, however we are currently assessing the impact to Redpanda Cloud as CVSS 6.5 (Medium). For self-hosted clusters, particularly those with mTLS, Redpanda recommends updating truststores at the earliest opportunity.
