What is the issue with the SSL vulnerability?
The selected server exploits weak SSL ciphers,which is a medium risk vulnerability. What’s the issue? Many organizations knowingly or unknowingly exploit weak SSL protocols and cipher suites in their domain servers which makes their website vulnerable to various MITM attacks.
What makes a website not secure with SSL?
A website with SSL is not secure if it does not have other layers of protection, such as a Website Application Firewall (WAF), or access controls. An HTTPS website could still be hacked and dangerous to visitors.
How does Key Manager Plus detect SSL vulnerability?
Key Manager Plus initially scans the domain servers (to which the selected SSL certificate is deployed) and flags the weak ciphers. Your domain server is then scanned for HEARTBLEED and POODLE vulnerability, followed by CRL and OCSP revocation statuses.
How many SSL servers are vulnerable to POODLE attack?
Measurements indicate 33% of all HTTPS servers are vulnerable to the attack. The POODLE attack takes advantage of the protocol version negotiation feature built into SSL/TLS to force the use of SSL 3.0 and then leverages this new vulnerability to decrypt select content within the SSL session.
