Inadequate Encryption Strength

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

Description

Using 'ssl.wrap_socket()' creates an insecure SSL/TLS connection because it does not support critical security features like server name indication and hostname verification. This makes the encrypted connection vulnerable to interception or impersonation.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could perform man-in-the-middle attacks to intercept or alter sensitive data transmitted over the connection, potentially exposing credentials, personal information, or other confidential data and undermining trust in the application's security.
