Considering the potential broad impacts of a revocation action with a Code Signing Certificate issued to the current max validity of 39 months, I’d like to propose we reduce the max validity to 460 days (~15 months). This would reduce the amount of potentially impacted good code signed by a victim of a takeover attacks and help limit the time an attacker has to abuse a Code Signing Certificate. With that in mind, I’d like to propose the following language to be added to reduce the max validity for Code Signing Certificates to 460 days which includes an effective date of June 15, 2025, for all newly issued Code Signing Certificates.
