Hello All,

Recently, I was checking out some settings on Twitter and I landed to the “About Twitter” Configuration.
In this the last option that you get is Status. I just clicked on it.

And landed to a https://status.twitter.com with an SSL ERROR: ERR_CERT_COMMONNAME_INVALID
OOPS seems like something is broken over here.
So I went through the Certificate and on the certificate the Common Name is *.twimg.com and the SAN list is as shown below which does not Include status.twitter.com, so I am getting this Error

Over here, I was confused so I went to check Twitter’s SSL Certificate.
Which is as shown below. Which shows Common Name [CN] as twitter.com

And SAN List as shown below.
To my surprise, there was No Mention of any other Sub Domains of Twitter
It only includes twitter.com & www.twitter.com
Then I went to about.twitter.com which has an SSL Certificate with a CN as *.twitter.com

And the SAN List is: *.twitter.com which is a wildcard and will include all sub-domains, also status.twitter.com
It is Strange that Twitter has done a minor SSL Certificate related misconfiguration
They should have put This *.twitter.com in status.twitter.com or there is something else.
Any which way it is a Third Party Web Application that Twitter is using because after I add Exception for this Error, I land to
https://status.twitterstat.us which is part of status.io
I don’t know if it is Okay or Not, but this increases suspiciousness for a website.
Also, this can easily be fixed.
By switching its certificate with *.twitter.com or actually changed the link with https://status.twitterstat.us
