16%

Confidentiality

60%

A information disclosure vulnerability exists when TLS components use weak hash algorithms, aka 'TLS Information Disclosure Vulnerability'.

CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.3. CVSS Attack Vector: adjacent_network. CVSS Attack Complexity: high. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/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 It has been replaced by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
