Why Is the Bar Mitzvah Attack on SSL/TLS Detected?

The bar mitzvah attack is an attack on SSL/TLS protocols that exploits a vulnerability in the RC4 cryptographic algorithm. This vulnerability can disclose ciphertext in SSL/TLS encrypted traffic in some cases, such as passwords, credit card data, or other privacy data, to hackers.

Solution

To solve this problem, you can set the minimum TLS version to TLS v1.2 and cipher suite to cipher suite 2. For details, see Configuring PCI DSS/3DS Certification Check and TLS Version.
