Full (strict)
What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
I received the following email from [email protected]. com about clicking on a link within the email to review and renew my certificate. I would, of course, like to keep using Cloudflare, but I’m just confirming this isn’t a phishing email, etc. before clicking and approving the renewal link. It all directs to what seems like a valid cloudflare subdomain (‘certvalidate.cloudflare. com’), but again just wanted to see if there’s anyone out there who can give me guidance/confirmation. Thanks! Here’s the email below:
Certificate Renewal
Domain:

Review Certificate Request
Hello,
As part of the Cloudflare SSL certificate renewal process, we need you to re-approve the domain so that we can re-issue SSL certificates for use on our network.
If you previously validated this domain using the HTTP DCV method, you are receiving this email because:
www.fetchjunk. com no longer resolves to Cloudflare’s edge, and we cannot automatically complete the renewal process.
Recent CA/B forum rule changes state that HTTP DCV is no longer permitted for wildcard certificates.
Add the DNS records shown below to avoid certificate expiration or remove the hostname if no longer in use. Your current certificate expires on Wed Sep 18 14:22:20 +0000 2024. If you are unable to complete validation by the expiration date, Cloudflare will remove this certificate from the edge. Add the following TXT entries to your authoritative DNS provider:
_acme-challenge TXT MlJ-SPSy2IsV60ESWM2aJvtBZeIBOGxnguhe1p2bZ5s
Once records have been added, click this link to complete the renewal process: certvalidate.cloudflare. com/validations/txt/acme?domain= &token=MlJ-SPSy2IsV60ESWM2aJvtBZeIBOGxnguhe1p2bZ5s&certificate_pack_id=8a1dfb11-747a-43a8-8d02-67ed7cc8ec01
Thanks,
