Let's encrypt certstream abuse often not detected...

[polonus]

Widespread malicious pre-cert Let's Encrypt cert.chain abuse taking place.

Just a random example: https://host.io/nversia.ru
Also see: https://urlscan.io/result/be1fa059-766a-431d-b879-d04c9cbc73fe/#indicators

Not to say there are website certified there, that are well above board in these respects.

This particular cert. chaining abuse has been described here:
https://www.mike-gualtieri.com/posts/chaining-remote-web-vulnerabilities-to-abuse-lets-encrypt

Also Ahnlab described it as with: https://asec.ahnlab.com/en/45312/

Hope avast will also flag this kind of pre-chain certstream abuse (use CaliDog to detect).

Wonder whether the sponsors of letsencrypt dot org know,
where part of their money now goes to waste?
