This problem was solved in the mid 2010s by Certificate Transparency. Every issued certificate that browsers trust must be logged to a public append-only certificate transparency log. As a result, you can scan the logs to see if any certs were issued for your domain for keys that you don't control (and many tools and companies exist to do this).

I wouldn’t consider it “solved” because most organizations and people don’t actually check the log.

And a malicious actor can abuse this fact.
