Inadequate Encryption Strength

Property Value
Language generic
Severity medium
CWE CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength
OWASP A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The server configuration is missing the 'ssl_protocols' directive, which means outdated and insecure TLS versions (like TLSv1 and TLSv1.1) may be enabled by default. This exposes encrypted traffic to known vulnerabilities.

Impact

Attackers could exploit weak encryption protocols to intercept or decrypt sensitive data transmitted between clients and the server. This can lead to data breaches, credential theft, or unauthorized access to confidential information.
