The presence of SSL vulnerabilities indicates weaknesses in the implementation or configuration of the SSL/TLS protocol used to secure communications between clients and servers. These vulnerabilities may include outdated protocols (e.g., SSLv2/SSLv3), weak cipher suites, expired certificates, or improper server configurations. Such weaknesses can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of transmitted data, exposing it to potential attacks.
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks: This kind of attack occurs when attackers intercept communication between a client and a server. If an SSL vulnerability, such as a flaw in the SSL/TLS protocol or a weakness in cryptographic implementation, is discovered, it may allow an attacker to break encryption or bypass security checks.
