M4300-8X8F Vulnerabilities
We are seeing various vulnerabilities on both our M4300's with firmware 12.0.15.7
Port 8443 - SSL Certificate Signed Using Weak Hashing Algorithm
Port 8443 - Sweet32
Port 80 - JQuery 1.2 < 3.5.0 Multiple XSS
From what I can find these seem to relate to firmware issues that will be addressed. Can anyone confirm this is the case and when we can expect a fixed firmware?
thanks

Please use seach.
The 8443 port issue is known, fixes are in the works.
Most vulnerability Scanners only check the jQuery version - and not for effective vulnerabilities. LaurentMa can we have a status of that part please?

For the record: It looks like all mentioned issues have been addressed with 12.0.17.6 including the upgrade to jQuery 3.6. For the issues related to the API port 8443, here is an extract using testssl.sh I've I ran against our "canary" switch I upgraded before upgrading all our M4300 to this new version.

I can confirm that testssl.sh on port 8443 reports more and (and outdated) ciphers on previous versions and shows the SWEET32 as vulnerable.
