SSL Misconfiguration
Some web servers which require SSL to secure transmissions are misconfigured to allow users to browse over HTTP. The application may use redirection code to redirect users from HTTP to HTTPS. Mutillidae uses the following code in index.php.
if($_SERVER['HTTPS']!="on"){ $lSecureRedirect = "https://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; header("Location: $lSecureRedirect"); exit(); }//end if
If a mallicious agent is able to set up a MITM connection in between the user browser and the web server, a program such as SSLStrip can detect the redirection from HTTP to HTTPS and downgrade the users connection.
