Globalsign / AlphaSSL: CAA Mis-Issuance on mix of wildcard and non-wildcard DNS names in SAN

RESOLVED INVALID GlobalSign nv-sa
AI Summary

This case involves a mis-issuance by GlobalSign for a certificate that included both wildcard and non-wildcard DNS names in the Subject Alternative Name (SAN). The issue arose when GlobalSign validated the CAA record for the wildcard SAN but did not perform a subsequent check for the base domain. As a result, the base domain was incorrectly added, leading to the mis-issuance. The case was ultimately resolved as INVALID after discussions highlighted discrepancies in CAA logs and DNS history.
