The client in EMC RSA BSAFE Micro Edition Suite (MES) 4.0.x before 4.0.9 and 4.1.x before 4.1.5 places the weakest algorithms first in a signature-algorithm list transmitted to a server, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging server behavior in which the first algorithm is used.

CVSS 3.0 Base Score 5.9. CVSS Attack Vector: network. CVSS Attack Complexity: high. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).

CVSS 2.0 Base Score 2.6. CVSS Attack Vector: network. CVSS Attack Complexity: high. CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N).

Demo Examples

Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

CWE-327

These code examples use the Data Encryption Standard (DES).


               
EVP_des_ecb();

               
des.initEncrypt(key2);

               
}
return $encryptedPassword;

Once considered a strong algorithm, DES now regarded as insufficient for many applications. It has been replaced by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
