Summary

eMudhra Certificate Authority Security Issue

We will be performing a security update across our infrastructure to explicitly distrust the compromised eMudhra intermediate Certificate Authorities (CAs). During this maintenance, our engineering team will update the local trust stores to align with upstream security advisories. No downtime or reboots are required. Core services and applications will remain online throughout the maintenance. Following this update, outgoing secure connections (HTTPS/TLS) to any external service or endpoint relying on the revoked eMudhra intermediate certificates will be rejected automatically. If your integration relies on certificates issued by the affected eMudhra intermediates, ensure your certificates have been reissued under an unaffected, trusted Certificate Authority to prevent connection failures.
