Microsec: Disallowed subject attribute field in DV certificate

RESOLVED FIXED Microsec Ltd.
AI Summary

Microsec Ltd. reported a misissuance of DV certificates containing the SerialNumber extension, which is not permitted under current CABF BR requirements. Although the presence of this extension does not affect the usability or security of the certificates, it unnecessarily increases their size. Following the discovery, Microsec promptly initiated an investigation, revoked the affected certificates, and updated their certificate profiles to comply with the new standards. The incident was resolved efficiently, with no further issuance of DV certificates during the investigation period.
