OpenAI is updating its security certificates for macOS applications following a compromise of a third-party developer tool called Axios. A malicious version of Axios was executed during OpenAI's macOS app-signing process, potentially exposing signing materials. While OpenAI found no evidence of user data compromise or system alteration, they are treating the signing certificate as compromised and are revoking and rotating it. This change will require users to update their OpenAI macOS apps to newer versions by May 8, 2026, to ensure continued functionality and security. AI
