POODLE Question

Postby kiawah » Thu Oct 30, 2014 4:18 pm

I just got a notice from authorize.net:

As you may be aware, an Internet-wide security issue, commonly referred to as POODLE, has been identified in the last two weeks and affects anyone using older Web browsers that use SSL version 3 (SSLv3), specifically Internet Explorer (IE) 6. This issue creates a vulnerability that could allow hackers to gain access to any connection using this outdated Web browser.

To that end, on November 4, 2014, we will be disabling the use of SSLv3 within our systems. This means that if your website or shopping cart solution uses SSLv3 to send transactions to Authorize.Net, you will no longer be able to process transactions.

Does this impact Shopsite at all? I run an older version and was not sure if the above will be an issue.

Thank you for your help.

ShopSite has posted a knowledgebase article concerning this issue at the URL below:

http://support.shopsite.com/KBase/questions/2561

Here is what you need to know:

ShopSite has tested ShopSite 10, 11, and 12 against Authorize.Net’s test servers that now have SSLv3 disabled and have not encountered any problems.

In addition, since ShopSite v5, the SSL code used by ShopSite is designed to use the newer TLS protocol by default if that is supported on the server ShopSite is securely communicating with (in this case the Authorize.Net server.)

We do not anticipate any problems when Authorize.Net disables support of SSLv3 on November 4, 2014.


What version of ShopSite do you have?
