Security Fix

Problem

The bundled CA certificate store (chargebee/ssl/ca-certs.crt) includes the AAA Certificate Services root certificate (Comodo CA Limited). On 2026-10-20, it became public that eight eMudhra certificate private keys had leaked — six of which chain back to this root.

Browsers and operating systems revoked trust in this root between Oct 17–22, but the SDK uses its own bundled certificate store and does not pick up system-level revocations. This leaves applications using the SDK vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks where an attacker with a leaked key could impersonate Chargebee and capture API keys.

Fix

• Removed the AAA Certificate Services root certificate from chargebee/ssl/ca-certs.crt

Impact

• No disruption to Chargebee connectivity. Chargebee uses the Amazon/Starfield certificate chain (chargebee.com → Amazon RSA 2048 M01 → Amazon Root CA 1 → Starfield Services Root CA G2), which remains in the bundle and is unaffected.
• Verified via openssl s_client that the updated bundle still validates chargebee.com successfully (Verify return code: 0 (ok)).

Version

Bumped to v3.30.0

Urgency

This should be merged and released immediately.

Made with Cursor

Removed the AAA Certificate Services root certificate from the bundled CA store. Updated the changelog and bumped the SDK version to 3.30.0.

- Line 4: Update the changelog entry about the AAA Certificate Services root to
describe platform-specific blocking of the affected eMudhra certificates and
cross-certificates; remove the unsupported claim that all browsers and operating
systems revoked trust in the root, and clarify that trust-store changes vary by
platform.
