AI Summary

Kamu Sertifikasyon Merkezi (Kamu SM) disclosed a compliance issue involving two certificates that incorrectly included 'Some-State' in the stateOrProvinceName field, which was not validated according to the Baseline Requirements. The CA became aware of the issue through a notification on mozilla.dev.security.policy and confirmed that only these two certificates were affected. They have since revoked the problematic certificates and are implementing improvements to their ARMA system to prevent similar issues in the future, including adding controls for the state and locality fields. The remediation has been completed and all questions from the incident report have been addressed.
