eMudhra: Invalid CRL signatures
On June 5, 2025, it was reported that eMudhra Technologies Limited published six Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) with invalid ECDSA signatures due to incorrect private key usage. This issue was identified following an external alert from Sectigo. The CRLs were generated on May 29, 2025, and the problem was resolved by June 6, 2025, when correctly signed CRLs were published. No end entity certificates were affected as none had been issued under the impacted Intermediate CAs. The incident was attributed to a procedural error in the manual CRL generation process, which has since been automated to prevent future occurrences.
- CRLs generated with incorrect key configuration
- Initial alert sent by Sectigo, quarantined
- Follow-up alert received, issue acknowledged
- Correct CRLs published
