GoDaddy: Certificates with invalid embedded SCT signatures

RESOLVED FIXED GoDaddy
AI Summary

GoDaddy reported an incident involving two subscriber certificates that contained invalid embedded Signed Certificate Timestamp (SCT) signatures. Both certificates were revoked on May 24, 2025, after the issue was identified on May 22, 2025. The root cause was traced to an invalid SCT returned by the CT log provider, compounded by insufficient validation processes at GoDaddy. Remediation steps included revoking the impacted certificates and implementing additional validation logic for SCT signatures.
