Ssl Tls Certificate Weak Signature Sha1

Description

This detector identifies SSL/TLS certificates that use weak SHA-1 signature algorithms. SHA-1 is cryptographically broken and vulnerable to collision attacks, making certificates signed with SHA-1 unsuitable for secure communications and deprecated by major browsers and certificate authorities.

Weakness:

262 - Insecure encryption algorithm - SHA1

Category: Information Collection

Detection Strategy

    Establishes SSL/TLS connection to the target server

    Examines the X.509 certificate presented by the server

    Checks if the certificate's signature hash algorithm is SHA-1

    Reports vulnerability when SHA-1 signature algorithm is detected in the certificate
