Arduous much? Sounds like a job for a machine.

Oh stop. You’ll never get this corner of the internet to admit such things.

Yeah, I too had that ambition once, but I didn't even know where to begin, since I don't know how to find out which once my apps, websites and other services actually need. Other than investigating whole chains of collaboration between the various owners and devs of those services. Arduous much? 😅

I used a proxy to look up which servers the app was trying to talk to, looked up the cert from the server and which CA I needed. It was very arduous, especially when you installed a new app and just wanted to use it, e.g. for parking. This made me stop doing this. When giving talks to junior devs I used to explain that security and convenience are almost always on opposite sites and you need to figure out where between the two extremes you want to sit. In this case I opted for convenience.

FYI, G3 is the only one listed with the issue, the others are fine AFAIK. But if you don't trust eMudhra at all after that, then that's fair. Edit: Actually it's the intermediate certs that are compromised, the roots are still fine, but many of them come from the G3 root cert (and Sectigo's AAA Certificate Services) Source: https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/

Excerpt from that page, for Android:

  • eMudhra Technologies Limited: emSign ECC Root CA - G3
  • Comodo CA Limited: AAA Certificate Services

Of course, people using an Android variant that still gets regular updates are unlikely to need manual disables, since an update will take care of it.
