The discussions around SSL.com's significant DCV (Domain Control Validation) bypass issue highlight serious vulnerabilities associated with issuing fake TLS/SSL certificates. Users expressed deep concern over this oversight, referencing it as one of the most alarming TLS issues uncovered recently. The issue specifically pertains to obtaining certificates for MX (mail exchange) hostnames by leveraging user accounts or inbox access, which poses substantial risks, especially for major domains like gmail.com and various enterprises.
