CWE-757
Selection of Less-Secure Algorithm During Negotiation ('Algorithm Downgrade')
Description
A protocol or its implementation supports interaction between multiple actors and allows those actors to negotiate which algorithm should be used as a protection mechanism such as encryption or authentication, but it does not select the strongest algorithm that is available to both parties.
