That's disingenuous title

It should be "Apple still ships compromised CA in /etc/". Git is just a victim like every other app using system CA

Is using the system CA not the way to go?

(on linux you always have the update-ca-certificates command that downloads the root certificates from a trusted™ source. but sure, it will not help, if each command starts to bring their own ca package :)

So git on MacOS does trust compromised certs by default? What's wrong with the title then?

The lede is certainly buried, but calling out an affected development toll on a tech site isn’t a bad call.

Pretty disappointed that Apple hasn’t pushed out an emergency patch to address this, though.
