Unfortunately yes. We plan on updating our CPS and bringing it up with our auditors during this audit, who is on-site next week.

[Weird Digicert issued cert] Jeremy: do you consider the fact that DigiCert signed certs without proof of private key possession to have been a violation if its CPS?

We signed new certs using that public key after verifying domain control. We saw the process happen a few times but didn't worry about it too much as the requesters didn't control the private key. We ended up shutting off the no-CSR path because we figured the issuance of these certs created a potential PR concern, even if there isn't a real security risk. -----Original Message----- From: dev-security-policy <dev-security-policy-boun...@lists.mozilla.org <mailto:dev-security-policy-boun...@lists.mozilla.org> > On Behalf Of Jeremy Rowley via dev-security-policy Sent: Friday, April 12, 2019 10:56 AM To: Wayne Thayer <wtha...@mozilla.com <mailto:wtha...@mozilla.com> >; Jakob Bohm <jb-mozi...@wisemo.com <mailto:jb-mozi...@wisemo.com> > Cc: mozilla-dev-security-policy <mozilla-dev-security-pol...@lists.mozilla.org <mailto:mozilla-dev-security-pol...@lists.mozilla.org> > Subject: RE: Arabtec Holding public key? [Weird Digicert issued cert] I don't mind filling in details. We have a system that permits creation of certificates without a CSR that works by extracting the key from an existing cert, validating the domain/org information, and creating a new certificate based on the contents of the old certificate. The system was supposed to do a handshake with a server hosting the existing certificate as a form of checking control over the private key, but that was never implemented, slated for a phase 2 that never came. We've since disabled that system, although we didn't file any incident report (for the reasons discussed so far). -----Original Message----- From: dev-security-policy <dev-security-policy-boun...@lists.mozilla.org <mailto:dev-security-policy-boun...@lists.mozilla.org> > On Behalf Of Wayne Thayer via dev-security-policy Sent: Friday, April 12, 2019 10:39 AM To: Jakob Bohm <jb-mozi...@wisemo.com <mailto:jb-mozi...@wisemo.com> > Cc: mozilla-dev-security-policy <mozilla-dev-security-pol...@lists.mozilla.org <mailto:mozilla-dev-security-pol...@lists.mozilla.org> > Subject: Re: Arabtec Holding public key?
