The WebSphere Application Server must remove all export ciphers to protect the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted information.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Export grade encryption suites are not strong and do not meet DoD requirements. The encryption for the session becomes easy for the attacker to break. Do not use export grade encryption.
