The application is configured to use insecure protocols for SSL/TLS encryption, exposing data in transit to potential interception. The configuration does not enforce the use of modern cryptographic standards such as TLS 1.2 or higher.
Impact:
An attacker can intercept and decrypt sensitive information exchanged between the client and server, leading to severe privacy violations and potential financial loss if authentication tokens are included in these transmissions.
Mitigation:
Enforce secure configurations for SSL/TLS by requiring at least TLS 1.2 or higher. Update configuration settings to enforce encryption-at-rest principles where possible. Use tools like OpenSSL or security headers in HTTP responses (e.g., 'Strict-Transport-Security') to ensure that the application enforces HTTPS.

The application is configured to run a FastAPI server without enabling security headers, which can lead to several vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit this by performing various attacks such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Clickjacking, and Content Injection.
Impact:
Without proper security headers, attackers can perform various types of attacks including XSS where they can inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. They can also engage in clickjacking to trick users into performing actions that the user did not intend to do. Additionally, content injection is possible leading to unauthorized data exposure.
Mitigation:
Enable security headers in FastAPI configuration. Use 'Content-Security-Policy' header to restrict what resources can be loaded and executed by a web page. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) using the 'Strict-Transport-Security' header to force browser to use HTTPS for future requests.
