The community edition of the virtual appliance does not support uploading a new cert for the MTA (the pro/enterprise edition has support for this). So you, or someone else, probably uploaded and configured the cert manually. Since the underlying SMTP is postfix, it should be easy to replace the certificate. Note: in the upcoming release of the community edition we also copy the cert for the web GUI to the postfix config. It should be noted that Postfix (and SMTP in general) by default provides opportunistic TLS, i.e., use TLS if available, if not connect with TLS. Disabling weak ciphers does not increase the security level if you still allow unencrypted connections (when DANE is used things are different). That said, since Postfix is used for the MTA part, you can easily disable weak ciphers. For example to disable TLS <= 1.1 add the following line to te postfix main config (main.cf) smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3, !TLSv1, !TLSv1.1 The above configuration disables TLS <= 1.1 for the SMTP daemon If you would like to disable weak ciphermail for the SMTP client, use smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols Again, disabling weak ciphers might result in fallback to *no* TLS if the SMTP server you are connecting to does not support TLS >= 1.2 For more information on TLS configuration of Postfix see: http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html For the upcoming release of the gateway we will review the default TLS configuration.

The gateway makes limited use of Javascript and does not use client side generated HTML. We therefore believe that issues with jquery cannot be misused with the gateway. That said, in the upcoming release, which will be released real soon, we have fixed all know jquery CVE issues by patching jquery. The version will report v1.12.4 patch 26052021, i.e., still version 1.12.4 but with patches applied. Note that a lot of high profiles sites still use 1.12.4 like for example Stackoverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/).
