SwissSign: modified fields were not saved into certificates and resulted in miss-issuance

RESOLVED FIXED SwissSign AG
AI Summary

SwissSign AG identified a bug in their new web shop integration that caused modifications to regulated fields in certificates to not be saved, leading to the mis-issuance of 11 TLS certificates. The issue was reported internally, prompting an immediate investigation and the suspension of certificate issuance. The root cause was quickly identified, and a mitigation strategy was implemented, switching from the OV to EV RAO process to ensure compliance. All mis-issued certificates have since been revoked.
