CVE-2019-19097Network attack vector

Eavesdropping via medium-strength cipher suites

Published Apr 2, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024

Inadequate encryption strength in eSOMS 4.0 to 6.0.3 allows remote attackers to eavesdrop or intercept connections via medium-strength ciphers. The TLS configuration accepts medium-strength cipher suites whenever a connection is enabled with one, exposing traffic to passive capture or active interception. Attackers must reach the network service and negotiate an offered weak cipher; the documented consequence is loss of confidentiality and possible connection interception, not service interruption.
