Analyzing SSL/TLS Issues

For SSL/TLS vulnerability analysis in Mandiant Advantage Attack Surface Management (MA-ASM), two Issues are available:

  • Deprecated SSL/TLS Protocol Configured: A vulnerability results when a server is configured to allow a deprecated SSL/TLS protocol.
  • Weak SSL/TLS Ciphers Enabled: A vulnerability results when a server is configured to support a SSL/TLS cipher with a known low-sequence of encryption.

SSL/TLS Vulnerabilities in the Issue Definition Library

These Issues are defined in the Issue Definition Library. To locate both definitions, go to Projects and Settings > Library. From there, select Issue Definitions. Once the page comes up, enter SSL in the Search for issues bar.

Access SSL/TLS Issues

To access specific Issues classified under either of these Issue Definitions, select the Issues tab in MA-ASM. Add SSL to the search bar and click Enter. Select Issue from the Grouped by drop down to cluster all SSL/TLS vulnerabilities that are present. 

Click the Expand button to view a list of individual issues within each category.

Choose one of the URLs from this list to explore more detailed Description, References, Proof, and Raw (JSON) information.

Examples

Example 1

In this example, the Proof for a Deprecated SSL/TLS Protocol Detected Issue shows that version 2 of SSL protocol is enabled in the source.

Example 2

In this example, the Proof for a Weak SSL/TLS Ciphers Enabled Issue shows that known-weak SSL/TLS ciphers, SHA256 & SHA384, are present in the source.
