official (eMudhra full incident report on Mozilla Bugzilla 2083449, Nov 10, 2026)

eMudhra's full incident report: one HSM-migration script broke 8 ECDSA keys and forced revocation of 8 RSA intermediates too; G1 issuance stops by Nov 16

  • Missed early warning: the report ties a May-June 2025 CRL signature anomaly on the G3B/G3C intermediates (Bug 1970728) to the same defect; it was fixed at the signature level without finding the cause.
  • Also affected: eight Sectigo (AAA Certificate Services) cross-certificates of the ECDSA set.
  • Check: if you rely on code signed by or TLS certificates chaining to the EM G2C issuers, confirm you have replacements; the affected end-entity set can be rebuilt from Certificate Transparency by issuer.
  • Opinion, from Bugzilla discussion (not eMudhra): commenters question why intermediate keys were exported at all rather than generated fresh on the new HSMs.
