Web Server Misconfiguration: Expired SSL Certificate

Universal

Abstract

Presenting an invalid certificate breaks the trust relationship between the client and the server and can also make it easier for an attacker to trick victim into accepting a spoofed SSL certificate.

Explanation

If you serve an expired certificate with a valid unexpired certificate, visitors might start to expect the invalid certificate error message presented by the user agent. An attacker can take advantage of this complacency and trick user into accepting an invalid certificate of their own, and set the victim up for a man-in-the-middle attack.
