Insecure Protocol/Service/Port
A protocol, service, or port that introduces security concerns due to the lack of controls over confidentiality and/or integrity. These security concerns include services, protocols, or ports that transmit data and authentication credentials (e.g., password/passphrase in clear-text over the Internet), or that easily allow for exploitation by default or if misconfigured. An example of an insecure protocol, service, or port is FTP.
