EMudhra Intermediate CA Certificates CompromisedUnit 42 advisory on the compromise of eight intermediate CA private keys belonging to Indian CA eMudhra Limited. The keys were generated with insufficient randomness, so attackers could derive them from the public certificates and sign rogue TLS certificates for MitM attacks. eMudhra has revoked the certificates and browser and OS vendors have untrusted them. Interim guidance covers PKI and trust store audits, reissuance, strict CRL/OCSP checking, log hunting, CT monitoring and CAA records.
