    A pure Unix shell script implementing ACME client protocol

  • Looks like they are issuing under a sub-CA of "ssl.com" according to https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/issues/4659#issue...

    Interestingly, the mozilla dev-security-policy group seems to contain a recent discussion about including "ssl.com" in the root store here https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/g/dev-security-polic...

    Curious to know if this could, maybe it should, have ripple effects to the various SSL Root CA programs. Having someone run a subCA that actually exploits an RCE against ACME clients doesn't seem very trustworthy, and any CA enabling this behaviour should probably be kicked out of the trust stores?
