Vulnerability CVE-2017-5243
Published: 2017-06-06
Description: |
The default SSH configuration in Rapid7 Nexpose hardware appliances shipped before June 2017 does not specify desired algorithms for key exchange and other important functions. As a result, it falls back to allowing ALL algorithms supported by the relevant version of OpenSSH and makes the installations vulnerable to a range of MITM, downgrade, and decryption attacks. |
Type:
CWE-327 (Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm)
