eMudhra emSign PKI Services: Delayed Revocation of SSL/TLS Certificates
On August 31, 2024, eMudhra received a notification regarding a potential compromise of four SSL/TLS certificates. The required revocation was delayed due to the request being misrouted to a general support email instead of the dedicated Certificate Problem Reporting contact. Additionally, the affected customer did not respond promptly, further complicating the situation. The certificates were eventually revoked on September 2, 2024, without any reported misuse during the delay. eMudhra has since implemented corrective actions, including improved email routing and defined escalation processes for non-responsive customers to ensure compliance with TLS Baseline Requirements.
- Researcher submitted revocation request via general support email.
- eMudhra became aware of the issue and started internal investigation.
- Customer acknowledged compromise; certificates were revoked.
