CWE	CWE-327: Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
OWASP	A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level	High
Impact Level	Low
Likelihood Level	High

Description

The code configures TLS to use insecure cipher suites that are known to be weak, such as RC4, 3DES, or certain AES CBC modes. These cipher suites are outdated and do not provide strong protection for encrypted network traffic.

Impact

Using weak cipher suites makes it easier for attackers to decrypt, modify, or intercept sensitive data in transit. This can lead to data breaches, exposure of confidential information, and undermine the security guarantees of TLS connections.
