FNMT: non-TLS intermediate CAs lacked EKU; OneCRL mitigation is complete and migration remains ongoing
FNMT reported that two intermediate CA certificates issued on 2019-11-28 under the AC RAIZ FNMT-RCM hierarchy lacked the Extended Key Usage extension required by Mozilla Root Store Policy. The affected intermediates are AC Unidades de Sellado de Tiempo and AC Sector Publico, and FNMT said they are used only for non-TLS trust services. FNMT stated that migration to dedicated single-purpose hierarchies is underway and that it requested OneCRL inclusion of the affected intermediates as an interim mitigation. Mozilla later flagged the two certificates as ready to add to OneCRL, but the batch process initially omitted them. FNMT then confirmed on 2026-10-09 that both intermediate CA certificates are now included in OneCRL and that the mitigation action item is complete. FNMT also said the revocation of the two intermediates remains planned for a later stage once there are no remaining valid certificates issued under them.
