What is SSL BEAST Vulnerability?

SSL BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) is a vulnerability discovered in 2011 that targets the SSL/TLS protocol, particularly when Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode is used. By exploiting this weakness, an attacker can execute a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, injecting malicious code to decrypt sensitive information from secure communications.

The vulnerability takes advantage of predictable initialization vectors (IVs) in CBC mode. By hijacking a session and forcing specific conditions, the attacker can retrieve encrypted data by observing the patterns in multiple transmissions. While TLS 1.2 and later versions address this issue, older systems and browsers remain at risk.
