Looks like NVD failed to update their SSL certificate. I'm not seeing anything similar in our logs from the cache update last night, so it may be fixed. Just try it again?

If that doesn't fix it, it's possible your network connection is doing something funky with the SSL that's breaking the cert. We can't really help if that's the case, but try going to https://nvd.nist.org from a web browser and see what happens -- it might help you debug what's going on.

Looks like it was a temporary error yesterday. Now it is updating well:

The internet connection was OK I believe on my side, but who knows, nowadays everything can be wrong. :(

Glad it's fixed! I'll close this now.
