OpenSSL is a widely used open-source library that provides secure encryption and communication protocols for web applications. It is used by millions of websites to enable secure communication between clients and servers. With OpenSSL, sensitive information transmitted between the two parties is encrypted, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity.

However, in 2014, a severe vulnerability was detected in OpenSSL. The vulnerability identified as CVE-2014-0224 affected OpenSSL versions 0.9.8, 1.0.0, and 1.0.1. The vulnerability was related to the ChangeCipherSpec request message, which opens the door for a man-in-the-middle attack (MITM). A MITM attack is a type of cyber attack where an attacker inserts themselves into a conversation between two parties and alters or eavesdrops on the communication. With CVE-2014-0224, attackers could intercept and modify the data exchanged between clients and servers, making it possible to hijack a session, corrupt data, or obtain sensitive information.

Exploiting the vulnerability could lead to severe consequences, such as data breaches, loss of confidential information, theft of sensitive data, and the hijacking of sessions. If an attacker is successful in exploiting CVE-2014-0224, they can decrypt and modify transmitted data, posing a significant risk to businesses, individuals, and governments.
