SSL Certificate Chain Contains Illegitimate TURKTRUST Intermediate CA

medium Nessus Plugin ID 63398

Synopsis

The SSL certificate chain for this service is not to be trusted.

Description

The X.509 certificate chain sent by the remote host either contains or is signed by an intermediate Certificate Authority (CA) that was accidentally issued by TURKTRUST.

Certificate chains descending from this intermediate CA could allow an attacker to perform man-in-the-middle attacks and decode traffic.

Solution

Ensure that your software or operating system blacklists the intermediate CAs.
