Older versions of SSL/TLS protocol like "SSLv3" have been proven to be insecure. This rule raises an issue when an SSL/TLS context is created with an insecure protocol version, i.e. when one of the following constants is detected in the code: * OpenSSL.SSL.SSLv3_METHOD (Use instead OpenSSL.SSL.TLSv1_2_METHOD) * ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3 (Use instead ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2) Protocol versions different from TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3 are considered insecure. == Noncompliant Code Example ---- from OpenSSL import SSL SSL.Context(SSL.SSLv3_METHOD) # Noncompliant ---- ---- import ssl ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3) # Noncompliant ---- == Compliant Solution ---- from OpenSSL import SSL SSL.Context(SSL.TLSv1_2_METHOD) # Compliant ---- ---- import ssl ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2) # Compliant ---- include::../see.adoc[]
