Outdated TLS Version

A server supporting deprecated protocols (SSLv2/v3, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1) exposes traffic to known attacks and weakens transport security. These versions are formally deprecated (RFC 8996) and fail modern compliance baselines.

How we test it

Our operators follow a structured checklist for this topic, adapted to your API surface and authentication model.

Testing approach

  • Structured validation of Outdated TLS Version during scoped assessment.
  • Evidence captured with reproducible steps for your engineering team.

What we look for

  • Misconfigurations and control gaps related to Outdated TLS Version.
  • Exploitable paths that could affect confidentiality, integrity, or availability.

TopicSummary
Application Logic FlawsApplication Logic Flaws occur when a web application's normal logic or workflow can be manipulated, allowing attackers to bypass security measures or misuse functionality in unexpected ways.
Arbitrary Cookie FlagsCookies that hold session or sensitive data are set without the proper security flags (Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite). This lets cookies travel over cleartext, be read by JavaScript, or be sent on cross-site requests, enabling theft and CSRF.
Back Button AttackAfter a user logs out (or on a shared device), pressing the browser Back button or reopening cached pages reveals sensitive data or restores an authenticated view. This happens when the server lets responses be cached and does not fully invalidate the session.
Broken AuthenticationFlaws in how an application confirms a user's identity, letting attackers compromise passwords, tokens, or sessions and assume other users' identities. It is one of the highest-impact web risks (OWASP Top 10: Identification and Authentication Failures).
Brute Force AttackAn attacker systematically tries many credentials, tokens, or values until one works. It succeeds when an endpoint lacks rate limiting, lockout, or sufficient secret entropy.
Captcha BypassA CAPTCHA is meant to block automated requests, but flawed implementation lets attackers skip or solve it programmatically. Bypassing it re-enables brute force, spam, and other automation the control was meant to stop.
