BEA Weblogic Server default cipher information disclosure
| weblogic-cipher-information-disclosure (36322) |  Low Risk |
Description:
BEA Weblogic Server could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information. SSL clients running outside the server environment may not find possible ciphers, resulting in a default null cipher. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain cleartext SSL information.
