SDAIA missing required CCADB contact email aliases
This case concerns SDAIA’s failure to keep required CCADB contact information current. The bug was opened by Apple after SDAIA had not updated the CCADB record following a notification on 2026-01-23, and the required fields “CA Email Alias 1” and “CA Email Alias 2” were empty. SDAIA acknowledged the issue, investigated why the notification had not been acted on, and later reported that it populated a non-personal contact email alias on 2026-02-10. SDAIA also said it updated internal review activities and later consolidated two CCADB accounts into one on 2026-04-13. The report closure summary states that all action items were completed and closure was requested, and CCADB issued a final call for comments before closing the report.
