TLS Version
- The server receiving webhooks from our system must support TLS 1.2 or above.
- TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are not accepted due to known vulnerabilities.
Cipher Suites
The server must support at least one of the following cipher suites:
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHATLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHATLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHATLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHATLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHATLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHATLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHATLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
Additional Security Measures
- Certificate Validation: The server's SSL certificate must be valid and trusted.
- Server Name Indication (SNI): The server should support SNI for proper certificate selection.
- Perfect Forward Secrecy: The chosen cipher suite should support PFS to ensure past communications remain secure even if the private key is compromised.
Endpoint URL Requirements
This is applied for URL registered as Endpoint in Webhook and Events.
- Production Endpoints must use HTTPS.
- The URL must not contain credentials (user:password@) or a fragment (#…), must use a valid domain name, and must use a supported port.
- The host must resolve to a public address. Loopback, private, link-local, multicast, reserved and cloud-metadata addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) are rejected.
- The certificate must match the hostname.
- Redirects are not followed, so the URL must respond directly.
Implementation Guidelines
- Configure your web server (e.g., Nginx, Apache) to only allow TLS 1.2 and above.
- Update your server's cipher suite configuration to include the required ciphers.
- Regularly update your SSL/TLS libraries to ensure support for the latest security standards.
- Implement proper error handling for failed connections due to unsupported TLS versions or cipher suites.
Testing and Verification
- Use online SSL/TLS testing tools (e.g. SSL Labs) to verify your server configuration.
- Periodically audit your server's TLS settings to ensure continued compliance with these requirements.
By adhering to these requirements, you ensure that the webhook communication between our system and your server maintains a high level of security and data integrity.
