Mozilla added the self-signed CA certificate named "Information Security Certification Authority" to OneCRL after a user reported a Kazakhstan man-in-the-middle interception attempt. The report stated that visiting m.reactor.cc resulted in replacement of the real certificate with the attached certificate chain, and that many people install a mandatory government certificate to access some government websites. On 2024-03-04, David Keeler said he believed he had found the certificate the government wanted users to install and attached it to the bug. Ben Wilson then provided the certificate metadata needed for OneCRL entry creation and approved the proposed change in Kinto staging on 2024-03-05. A production comparison log posted by David Keeler on 2024-03-05 showed one pending production addition for this certificate, with details naming the entry, bug, actor, and reason "Kazakhstan MITM (#10)". Ben Wilson confirmed on 2024-03-07 that the CA certificate was included in OneCRL and the bug was closed. The thread does not mention CCADB revocation fields, a candidate-report state, or a revocation reason/date as the trigger. The apparent cause stated in the thread is a Kazakhstan government MITM attempt involving a certificate users were reportedly required to install.
