Kingdom: Security Features

Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.

Insecure Transport: Weak SSL Protocol

Abstract
The SSLv2, SSLv23, SSLv3, TLSv1.0, and TLSv1.1 protocols contain flaws that make them insecure and should not be used to transmit sensitive data.
Explanation
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols provide a protection mechanism to ensure the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of data transmitted between a client and web server. Both TLS and SSL have undergone revisions resulting in periodic version updates. Each new revision is designed to address the security weaknesses discovered in previous versions. Use of an insecure version of TLS/SSL weakens the data protection strength and might allow an attacker to compromise, steal, or modify sensitive information.

Weak versions of TLS/SSL might exhibit one or more of the following properties:

- No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
- Same key used for authentication and encryption
- Weak message authentication control
- No protection against TCP connection closing
- Use of weak cipher suites

The presence of these properties might allow an attacker to intercept, modify, or tamper with sensitive data.

desc.structural.dotnet.insecure_transport_weak_ssl_protocol
Abstract
The SSLv2, SSLv23, SSLv3, TLSv1.0, and TLSv1.1 protocols contain flaws that make them insecure and should not be used to transmit sensitive data.
Explanation
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols provide a protection mechanism to ensure the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of data transmitted between a client and web server. Both TLS and SSL have undergone revisions resulting in periodic version updates. Each new revision is designed to address the security weaknesses discovered in previous versions. Use of an insecure version of TLS/SSL weakens the data protection strength and might allow an attacker to compromise, steal, or modify sensitive information.

Weak versions of TLS/SSL might exhibit one or more of the following properties:

- No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
- Same key used for authentication and encryption
- Weak message authentication control
- No protection against TCP connection closing
- Use of weak cipher suites

The presence of these properties might allow an attacker to intercept, modify, or tamper with sensitive data.

Abstract
The SSLv2, SSLv23, SSLv3, TLSv1.0, and TLSv1.1 protocols contain flaws that make them insecure and should not be used to transmit sensitive data.
Explanation
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols provide a protection mechanism to ensure the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of data transmitted between a client and web server. Both TLS and SSL have undergone revisions resulting in periodic version updates. Each new revision is designed to address the security weaknesses discovered in previous versions. Use of an insecure version of TLS/SSL weakens the data protection strength and might allow an attacker to compromise, steal, or modify sensitive information.

Weak versions of TLS/SSL might exhibit one or more of the following properties:

- No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
- Same key used for authentication and encryption
- Weak message authentication control
- No protection against TCP connection closing
- Use of weak cipher suites

The presence of these properties might allow an attacker to intercept, modify, or tamper with sensitive data.

Abstract
The SSLv2, SSLv23, SSLv3, TLSv1.0, and TLSv1.1 protocols contain flaws that make them insecure and should not be used to transmit sensitive data.
Explanation
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols provide a protection mechanism to ensure the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of data transmitted between a client and web server. Both TLS and SSL have undergone revisions resulting in periodic version updates. Each new revision is designed to address the security weaknesses discovered in previous versions. Use of an insecure version of TLS/SSL weakens the data protection strength and might allow an attacker to compromise, steal, or modify sensitive information.

Weak versions of TLS/SSL might exhibit one or more of the following properties:

- No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
- Same key used for authentication and encryption
- Weak message authentication control
- No protection against TCP connection closing
- Use of weak cipher suites

The presence of these properties might allow an attacker to intercept, modify, or tamper with sensitive data.

[58] Standards Mapping - Web Application Security Consortium Version 2.00 Insufficient Transport Layer Protection (WASC-04)
desc.semantic.java.insecure_transport_weak_ssl_protocol
Abstract
The SSLv2, SSLv23, SSLv3, TLSv1.0, and TLSv1.1 protocols contain flaws that make them insecure and should not be used to transmit sensitive data.
Explanation
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols provide a protection mechanism to ensure the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of data transmitted between a client and web server. Both TLS and SSL have undergone revisions resulting in periodic version updates. Each new revision is designed to address the security weaknesses discovered in previous versions. Use of an insecure version of TLS/SSL weakens the data protection strength and might allow an attacker to compromise, steal, or modify sensitive information.

Weak versions of TLS/SSL might exhibit one or more of the following properties:

- No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
- Same key used for authentication and encryption
- Weak message authentication control
- No protection against TCP connection closing
- Use of weak cipher suites

The presence of these properties might allow an attacker to intercept, modify, or tamper with sensitive data.

Example 1: This Node.js snippet tries to create a server with a secure connection:


...
var options = {
port: 443,
path: '/',
key : fs.readFileSync('my-server-key.pem'),
cert : fs.readFileSync('server-cert.pem'),
...
}
https.createServer(options);
...


Since Node.js sets the default value of secureProtocol to SSLv23_method, the server is inherently insecure when secureProtocol is not specifically overridden.

Abstract
The template allows the usage of outdated TLS versions.

The Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols provide a protection mechanism to ensure the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of data transmitted between a client and web server. Both TLS and SSL have undergone revisions that result in periodic version updates. Each new revision addresses security weaknesses discovered in the previous version. Use of an insecure version of TLS/SSL weakens the strength of the data protection and might allow an attacker to compromise, steal, or modify sensitive information.

Insecure versions of TLS/SSL might exhibit one or more of the following properties:

- No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
- Same key used for authentication and encryption
- Weak message authentication control

desc.structural.json.azure_arm_misconfiguration_insecure_active_directory_domain_service_transport.base
Abstract
The SSLv2, SSLv23, SSLv3, TLSv1.0, and TLSv1.1 protocols contain flaws that make them insecure and should not be used to transmit sensitive data.
Explanation
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols provide a protection mechanism to ensure the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of data transmitted between a client and web server. Both TLS and SSL have undergone revisions resulting in periodic version updates. Each new revision is designed to address the security weaknesses discovered in previous versions. Use of an insecure version of TLS/SSL weakens the data protection strength and might allow an attacker to compromise, steal, or modify sensitive information.

Weak versions of TLS/SSL might exhibit one or more of the following properties:

- No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
- Same key used for authentication and encryption
- Weak message authentication control
- No protection against TCP connection closing
- Use of weak cipher suites

The presence of these properties might allow an attacker to intercept, modify, or tamper with sensitive data.

Example 1: The following example uses the default SSL version which is SSL v3.0:

NSURLSessionConfiguration *configuration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration ephemeralSessionConfiguration];
[configuration setTLSMinimumSupportedProtocol = kSSLProtocol3];
NSURLSession *mySession = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:configuration delegate:self delegateQueue:operationQueue];

desc.semantic.php.insecure_transport_weak_ssl_protocol
Abstract
The SSLv2, SSLv23, SSLv3, TLSv1.0, and TLSv1.1 protocols contain flaws that make them insecure and should not be used to transmit sensitive data.
Explanation
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols provide a protection mechanism to ensure the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of data transmitted between a client and web server. Both TLS and SSL have undergone revisions resulting in periodic version updates. Each new revision is designed to address the security weaknesses discovered in previous versions. Use of an insecure version of TLS/SSL weakens the data protection strength and might allow an attacker to compromise, steal, or modify sensitive information.

Weak versions of TLS/SSL might exhibit one or more of the following properties:

- No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
- Same key used for authentication and encryption
- Weak message authentication control
- No protection against TCP connection closing
- Use of weak cipher suites

The presence of these properties might allow an attacker to intercept, modify, or tamper with sensitive data.

Abstract
The SSLv2, SSLv23, SSLv3, TLSv1.0, and TLSv1.1 protocols contain flaws that make them insecure and should not be used to transmit sensitive data.
Explanation
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols provide a protection mechanism to ensure the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of data transmitted between a client and web server. Both TLS and SSL have undergone revisions resulting in periodic version updates. Each new revision is designed to address the security weaknesses discovered in previous versions. Use of an insecure version of TLS/SSL weakens the data protection strength and might allow an attacker to compromise, steal, or modify sensitive information.

Weak versions of TLS/SSL might exhibit one or more of the following properties:

- No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
- Same key used for authentication and encryption
- Weak message authentication control
- No protection against TCP connection closing
- Use of weak cipher suites

The presence of these properties might allow an attacker to intercept, modify, or tamper with sensitive data.

desc.structural.ruby.insecure_transport_weak_ssl_protocol
Abstract
The SSLv2, SSLv23, SSLv3, TLSv1.0, and TLSv1.1 protocols contain flaws that make them insecure and should not be used to transmit sensitive data.
Explanation
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols provide a protection mechanism to ensure the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of data transmitted between a client and web server. Both TLS and SSL have undergone revisions resulting in periodic version updates. Each new revision is designed to address the security weaknesses discovered in previous versions. Use of an insecure version of TLS/SSL weakens the data protection strength and might allow an attacker to compromise, steal, or modify sensitive information.

Weak versions of TLS/SSL might exhibit one or more of the following properties:

- No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
- Same key used for authentication and encryption
- Weak message authentication control
- No protection against TCP connection closing
- Use of weak cipher suites

The presence of these properties might allow an attacker to intercept, modify, or tamper with sensitive data.

Example 1: The following example configures the session to use SSL v3.0:

let configuration : NSURLSessionConfiguration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
let mySession = NSURLSession(configuration: configuration, delegate: self, delegateQueue: operationQueue)

[58] Standards Mapping - Web Application Security Consortium Version 2.00 Insufficient Transport Layer Protection (WASC-04)
desc.controlflow.swift.insecure_transport_weak_ssl_protocol
Abstract
Use of insecure versions of SSL/TLS protocol can compromise the confidentiality and integrity of the information in transit.
Explanation
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol and the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol provide a protection mechanism to ensure authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of the data transmitted between a client and web server.
The TLS/SSL protocol has undergone various revisions resulting in periodic version updates. Each new revision addressed security weaknesses discovered in the previous versions. Use of insecure protocol versions weakens the strength of the transport protection and can enable an attacker to compromise, steal, or modify sensitive information.
Weak TLS/SSL protocols might exhibit any of the following properties:
1. No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
2. Same key used for authentication and encryption
3. Weak message authentication control
4. No protection against TCP connection closing
