api.diagnostics.office.com Security Certificate Issue. Any Help?
After a reboot, I often get a popup that asks if I want to install a security certificate. The certificate is issued by Bitdefender. I've tried installing, several times, but it's never made any lasting difference. What is it trying to tell me, and what should I do.
I am running a Windows 11 PC that's always kept up to date, with Office 365, that's always kept up to date and Bitdefender Total Security that's always up to date.

I have exactly the same problem as well as the same message, and I don't know if this certificate is official and valid.

It's more complicated than it looks. That certificate is generated dynamically, when a possible malicious behavior is observed (e.g. the original certificate has some issues and validation fails). In this context, a blockpage cannot be inserted, so an untrusted certificate is generated to display a pop-up by which the user is notified about that original certificate. Even if that certificate is installed, after the service restart it will no longer be considered valid and that's why the error persists after the reboot. It continues to try to validate the original certificate and fails for a specific reason (which is unknown until looking at some logs).
I know this sounds confusing and this is why it's better to have the Support engineers handle it.
Regards

Thank you, Alexandru. These things seem to come in groups, and for this issue(s) needing a remote session, had me a bit curious.

Indeed, it's something that pops-up sporadically and it's not encountered by all users. I have asked some questions and both the development teams and our support engineers asked for logs, so they could gather more information, so unfortunately it's not much we can do on the forum, all users encountering this should get in touch with the Support teams for accurate diagnosis and a fix.
Cheers

Untrusted BitDefender CA 10/24/2022 to 10/25/2023
He said this is nothing more than an update for office bug that does not recognize BitDefenders CA certificate, but the instructions were for an IMAP account not an Exchange Account then once I confirmed I received the email he hung up. I have had two hang ups and three disconnects. He did not want to walk me through the process. I have wasted 5 hours on the phone trying to get a qualified person that can remedy the situation
How do I get qualified help?!

This is the link that was supposed to fix my problem.
The only way this remotely pertains to my situation is if their definition of AI is Absolute Idiocy. How does finding my IMAP server settings for my Exchange Account resolve this Untrusted Certificate Issue?

Has a Malicious Website caused this Untrusted BitDefender CA Certificate Issue?
Has my Laptop been compromised?
Has Outlook and my Exchange Server Account been compromised?
Should I renew my 2 year subscription with BitDefender at the end of this month?

@Alexandru_BD, do you have any follow-up thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you.

The Security Alert Untrusted BitDefender CA pop up seems to appear when Outlook is opened. api.entitled.office.com so Microsoft Office (Outlook) seems to see the BitDefender Certificate as Untrusted.
What is causing this?
Is it a BitDefender Bug or is it a Malicious Exploit?
Is Microsoft responsible for the Fix?

Alexandru_BD,
Since this week I am experiencing the same problem with Outlook (OS Win 10) as above, namely I have to Install the Certificate before I can view the email message (screen shot of those certs installed to date). This am I chatted with agent Florin (Ticket No 1008244293) and at that time he did not seem to be aware of these specifics except that there seemed to be certificate issues happening. If it takes an engineer to remotely fix on one-to-one basis the problem could well be bigger than engineers availability.

Xandru,
Could this possibly be what is causing this problem?
I have sent a request to Florin to schedule a remote session on Monday so hopefully they can resolve it.
But how do I determine the scope of the compromise, and how do I prevent it from happening again. Should I be looking for another vendor?
J.T.

Hi @J.T.
I have noticed our engineers confirmed the date and time for the remote session. They will provide further clarification during the call and you can share your findings here afterwards, if you wish.

Hi all,
I've had this same issue a few times, with "api.diagnostics.office.com". I found this on Reddit, which might help
I've tried it, but as the issue happens sporadically, I can't be certain if it's worked. Fingers crossed! :)
I hope we get some answers from the engineers, I'm not that thrilled about having a remote session to fit it.

Unfortunately, this hasn't worked - I got the dreaded "api.diagnostics.office.com" dialog this morning. I just click through for now. Hopefully a fix is forthcoming

Hi @johnnyBionic,
The Support engineers are the only ones that can help here. Apparently, we can't fix this on the forum and a remote session will be required.

I have not received any resolution from tier 2 and it has been a while. I hope they have not closed the case without a solution. Can you check into this for me.
Thanks,
J.T.

Hello @J.T.
I have asked my colleagues to get back to you as soon as possible.
Please accept our apologies for the delayed response, this has proven a bit more challenging to resolve and your ticket has been further escalated to Tier 3 in the meantime.

Hi, I have a family subscription, and my wife has just let me know that she's having the same problem (exactly the same messages, also up to date on Office, Windows 11 and BitDefender). The above messages seem to suggest that we need to get in touch with an engineer.
Is this correct? If we do need to get in touch with an engineer, can you tell me how we do that, and how long we should expect a resolution to take?
Regards,
Steve Birch

Same issue on 3 of my computers, all up to dates. Win10 and Win11 with Office and Bitdefender. What is the latest update and timeline.
