Aws Insecure Ssl Protocol

Description

Detects AWS Elastic Load Balancers (ELBv2) that are configured to use outdated and insecure SSL/TLS protocols (SSLv3, TLSv1, or TLSv1.1). These legacy protocols have known vulnerabilities and may expose the load balancer to security risks like POODLE and BEAST attacks.

Weakness:

016 - Insecure encryption algorithm - SSL/TLS

Category: Information Collection

Detection Strategy

    • Scans all ELBv2 load balancers in the specified AWS region

    • For each load balancer, examines all listeners that have SSL policies configured

    • Checks if any SSL policy allows the insecure protocols: SSLv3, TLSv1, or TLSv1.1

    • Reports a vulnerability if any listener's SSL policy includes one or more of these outdated protocols
