핵심
Mbed TLS often appears in firmware, embedded services, appliances, and custom TLS stacks where a vulnerable library can survive long after application dependencies look clean. CVE-2023-45199 is serious, but a repo scanner should not claim remote code execution from a version string alone.
어떻게 동작하나요
The repo check looks for explicit Mbed TLS version evidence in source headers and build configuration. Version-header evidence is strongest because it comes from the library's own metadata; build-file evidence still indicates an affected dependency source that should be reviewed and rebuilt.
피해 범위
If the affected Mbed TLS library is linked into a deployed TLS client or server and the advisory-specific handshake conditions apply, a malicious peer may be able to trigger heap memory corruption. A repo match should drive dependency remediation and runtime validation before anyone treats it as confirmed production exploitability.

확실한 방어
Upgrade Mbed TLS to 3.5.0 or newer, or apply a vendor-supported backport, then rebuild every statically linked binary, firmware image, container image, or appliance package that includes the library. Verify the deployed artifact's library version directly before closing the advisory.
