Harald Ponce de Leon Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi All.. None of the modules bundled with our releases force curl to use a specific SSL version when communicating with service providers (eg, PayPal). Instead we leave it up to PHP/Curl to negotiate the best connection possible when connecting to servers. Due to the recent SSLv3 / Poodle vulnerability, many service providers are disabling SSLv3 connections to their servers (eg, PayPal are in the process of doing this). As none of our bundled modules force a specific SSL version to be used, no code changes are necessary and connections will continue to work when service providers have disabled SSLv3.

Nick Weisser Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks Harald, that's very good to know. All of our clients are using the bundled PayPal modules, so they should be on the safe side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AUST Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I use a Pay Pal module by DEVosc that I found on these forums. I know very little about how all this stuff works, is there any hint on how to check the module to see if it will still work, like what to look for in the code? Or is there a place where I can hire someone to look through the module and see if it will still function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Weisser Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Why are you not using the bundled one developed by Harald? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AUST Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 At the time this was installed, the Devosc one worked brilliantly, it has never been changed. If my site's SSL is not the SSL 3.0, then shouldn't I be fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Weisser Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Just switch to sandbox mode in the Devosc PayPal config settings (if available) and make a test order. The PayPal sandbox has already disabled SSL v3, so if the test order does not work, you know that you have a problem. In this case you can either have a developer fix your Devosc plugin or use one of the bundled ones Harald mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_mcs Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 @@jamo32 The problem mentioned here is a server issue, not something in your shop. Run the test on the site mentioned above and if it fails, as, your host to fix it.

Jack_mcs Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 The module has nothing to do with the problem. Test your server using this page to see if there is a problem or not.
