Hi,

I recently discovered two certificates issued for a private key that is
part of the OpenSSL source code. Here's the key in question:
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/test/certs/x509-check-key.pem

This key is used in two certificates:
https://crt.sh/?spkisha256=79f76c34a64d70c157113947dfe3cb8e4d7d035e4319142eb3dfb84c15f25ca4

One was issued by Digicert and expired shortly before I discovered
this. The other was issued by Godaddy and has been revoked after I
reported it.

I am not sure if there should be an expectation that example/test keys
are blocked for certificate issuance. While it is certainly infeasible
to ask to do this for any possible software, it seems OpenSSL is
prominent enough that it's a relatively obvious thing to consider the
keys shipped with it as candidates for a blocklist.
