CVE-2015-0535 describes a vulnerability in EMC RSA BSAFE Micro Edition Suite (MES) and RSA BSAFE SSL-C that allows for cipher-downgrade attacks. Specifically, it affects MES versions 4.0.x before 4.0.8 and 4.1.x before 4.1.3, and SSL-C 2.8.9 and earlier, by failing to properly restrict TLS state transitions. This flaw, related to the "FREAK" issue, enables remote attackers to force connections to use weaker EXPORT_RSA ciphers. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.5 (High), indicating a network-based attack with low complexity and high impact on integrity, but no impact on confidentiality or availability. The EPSS score is low, suggesting a minimal likelihood of exploitation in the wild. Currently, there is no known active exploitation, nor are there publicly available exploit modules in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are also minimal, suggesting it has not garnered significant attention.
