FNMT CCADB incident: incorrect CRL URI entry corrected, checks updated, final closure pending
FNMT reported that an incorrect CRL URI was recorded in CCADB for the root CA certificate AC RAIZ-FNMT RCM G2 during a root information update. The issue was identified after a third-party report, and FNMT corrected the CCADB entry so the valid CRL URI matched the certificate. FNMT stated that the impact was limited to the CCADB administrative portal and did not affect certificate issuance, revocation, or validation behavior. FNMT also said the update process lacked a mandatory secondary review, which allowed the incorrect value to go undetected. As remediation, FNMT added a second-review step and updated CCADB validation checks to verify CRL URL consistency between certificates and CCADB records. FNMT filed a closure summary on 2026-07-24 saying all action items were complete and requesting closure, and CCADB posted a final call for comments on 2026-07-27 with closure expected around 2026-08-03.
