<p style="margin:0">November 5, 2026</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0">This message is from Sage Alerting Systems regarding your Sage Digital ENDEC model 3644. It applies only to users in the United States.</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0">Sage Alerting Systems has released a free firmware update, version 96-2 (also known as 96-02), for US users running Rev96 or Rev96-1. This update contains a security update, and is mandatory. Per FCC 47 CFR 11.35(d)(2), security updates must be installed promptly (see below for more information).</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0">Version 96-2 removes compromised eMudhra root certificates used to secure TLS connections for alert audio servers. This release also resolves SMTP email attachment compatibility issues with some mail servers and allows the use of '&' and '+' in web GUI passwords.</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0">Please review the release notes and download the update using the links below:</p>
<p style="margin:0"> - Release Notes: <a href="https://www.sagealertingsystems.com/rev96-2-release-notes.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.sagealertingsystems.com/rev96-2-release-notes.pdf</a></p>
<p style="margin:0"> - Download Page: <a href="https://www.sagealertingsystems.com/rev96-2download.html" target="_blank">https://www.sagealertingsystems.com/rev96-2download.html</a></p>
<p style="margin:0"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0">You must install this update. Installation is easy for ENDECs already running any version of Rev96, see the release notes.</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0">Additional information:</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0">The primary security issue is the eMudhra Certificate Authority (CA) problem. This CA issued trusted root certificates, but mistakenly issued certificates in their hierarchy with a weak key that could be easily guessed, allowing the creation of false certificates that can masquerade as any domain. This affects computer systems worldwide. The ENDEC uses CA certificates to validate TLS (https) connections to web servers, including alert audio servers.</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0">To mitigate this issue, the IT industry is removing the affected eMudhra roots and cross-signing certifications from trust lists. While operating systems and browsers on desktop equipment have likely been updated automatically, the Sage ENDEC does not perform automatic software updates. To remove the at-risk certificates, you must manually install our 96-2 update.</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0">The FCC rules state: “11.35(d)(2) Install security patches and security-related software and firmware updates issued by equipment manufacturers promptly after those patches or upgrades become available. Security patches and security related software and firmware updates issued by equipment manufacturers may be tested before they are installed, provided that the testing begins promptly and is completed in a timeframe that is consistent with industry best practices”</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0">This is a free update for any ENDEC running Rev96 or Rev96-1. All active Sage ENDECS should already have been running at least the Rev96 version, issued in February 2024, to stay compliant with FCC Part 11 rules. </p>
