AI Summary

This case is about GoDaddy disclosing newly issued code signing subordinate CAs that were not yet listed in GoDaddy’s repository. The reporter stated that GoDaddy had issued two new subordinate CAs for a code-signing-specific hierarchy and attached them to the bug, noting they are covered under GoDaddy’s CPS and audits. The reporter referenced a May 2014 CA communication request that CAs disclose all non-technically constrained subordinate CAs, and pointed to GoDaddy’s repository URL where the CAs were not yet listed. Kathleen Wilson closed the bug as resolved, while stating the bug would continue to be used to provide information about GoDaddy’s publicly disclosed and audited subordinate CAs not listed on GoDaddy’s website. Later comments indicate additional intermediate certificates were issued for EV code signing and were attached for inclusion in GoDaddy’s repository and CPS. The bug’s resolution is WORKSFORME and its status is RESOLVED.
