What Is the CVE Of the Original Poodle Attack?

Answer: The poodle attack CVE -ID that is associated with it is CVE-2014-3566. It is the exploit to steal the data.

Poodle attacks can steal sensitive information such as cookies, passwords, and relevant data of the browser which is in encrypted form with the help of SLL (secure socket layer protocol). In 2014, US-CERT defines the vulnerability of the encryption technique that protects Internet traffic. POODLE is the flaw that allows hackers to easily perform client and server network decryption.  SLL versions 3.0 to 2.

SLL version 3.0 ad 2.0 can encrypt and check the data authentication which is sent through the internet become weak with the POODLE attack. However, the technology is advanced ad new protocols replace the old ones but the browser somehow still supports the SLL. The hacker can attack by allowing the POODLE to force to downgrade to version 3.

The POODLE allows the MiTM hacker to check the security of the communications. The Hacker can use the POODLE and steal the confidential information mimicked to become the end-user and cause the loss of control of web applications. The POODLE attack occurs in three steps that are described below:

• At first, the hacker gets the user’s personal information with the help of a MiTM attack. The attack is like the eavesdrop an attacker is able to listen to the communication between two people on the Internet, intercepting messages and forwarding them to the parties. The user may think they are communicating with each other but the hacker has control over their communication.
• In the second step, the hacker forces us to downgrade to SLL version 3. It happens by continuing the eavesdropping till the server moves to the previous version of the Protocol if it can not move to the new protocol. It is known as the downgrade stage.
• As the server moves to version 3.0 the POODLE is use to get the data from the encrypted frames. The attacker can see the client communication and also see the data in an unencrypted form as plaintext.
