eMudhra TLS intermediates found compromisable due to weak randomness

rickasaurus · x · 2026-10-21

Researchers disclosed that eMudhra's TLS intermediate certificates were compromisable because they lacked proper randomness in key generation. Intermediates hold private keys trusted to issue domain certificates — a compromised key would let attackers forge certificates, intercept HTTPS traffic, and break end-to-end encryption.
