## Impact

This rule ensures that Alibaba Cloud SLB (Server Load Balancer) TLS cipher policies are secure. Specifically, it ensures that only secure versions of TLS (Transport Layer Security) are used by disallowing the use of TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1. Using outdated TLS versions presents security vulnerabilities that can be exploited, compromising the security of data in transit.

Failing to enforce secure TLS versions can result in insecure connections, leaving data susceptible to interception and decryption by attackers.

## How to Fix

*Resource:* alicloud\_slb\_tls\_cipher\_policy

* *Attribute:* tls\_versions

To mitigate this issue, ensure that the `tls_versions` attribute in the `alicloud_slb_tls_cipher_policy` resource does not include `TLSv1.0` or `TLSv1.1`.

## Example: \[source,go]

resource "alicloud\_slb\_tls\_cipher\_policy" "example" { ...

* tls\_versions = \["TLSv1.1"]
* tls\_versions = \["TLSv1.2", "TLSv1.3"] }

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/appsec-rules/iac-security/networking/appsec-ali-33.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
