Azure Triple Des Cipher Algorithm

Description

Detects Azure API Management services configured to use the Triple DES (3DES) cipher algorithm, which is considered cryptographically weak and vulnerable to attacks. Using Triple DES in API Management services can expose API communications to potential security risks and does not meet modern encryption standards.

Weakness:

446 - Insecure service configuration - Azure

Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    Scans Azure API Management services in the subscription

    Checks if the custom property 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ApiManagement.Gateway.Security.Ciphers.TripleDes168' is set to 'true'

    Reports a vulnerability when an API Management service explicitly enables the Triple DES cipher algorithm
