Firmaprofesional: 2022 SSL certificates issued with wrong Organization ID number
Firmaprofesional reported that, during its annual eIDAS/ETSI audit, it discovered two SSL certificates contained an incorrect Organization ID number that did not match the number in the official records. The CA stated that the evidence was correct, but that a human transcription error occurred when copying the organization identification number (the first digit was not copied). After discovering the issue, Firmaprofesional analyzed additional issued SSL certificates and identified a third certificate with the same error. Firmaprofesional contacted the client about revoking the first two certificates and revoked those certificates on 2022-05-12; it also stated that the third certificate had already been revoked. To prevent recurrence, Firmaprofesional opened a JIRA ticket to develop automated checks and reported uploading a technical control for the Organization Identification Number field to PRE and then to PRO/production, stating it was effective. The CA later indicated that all planned actions had been performed and asked to close the bug; Mozilla responded that it would close it on or about 17-June-2022. The bug is marked RESOLVED with resolution FIXED.
