Pull request overview
Updates Nettacker’s SSL/TLS socket creation to be compatible with Python 3.12+ by replacing the removed ssl.wrap_socket() usage with ssl.SSLContext(...).wrap_socket(). This keeps core scan behavior working on supported Python versions (3.10–3.12) and aligns with the linked issues about broken SSL weak-version / weak-cipher detection and failing tests.
Changes:
- Replaced
ssl.wrap_socket()withssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS_CLIENT).wrap_socket()in core socket creation paths. - Set explicit TLS 1.2+ minimum for the generic socket metadata path (
nettacker/core/lib/socket.py), while keeping the SSL module path permissive as intended. - Updated unit tests to mock
ssl.SSLContextinstead of the removedssl.wrap_socket.

Proposed change
Python 3.12 removed
ssl.wrap_socket(), which two places in the codebase were still using directly (socket.pyandssl.py). Both were wrapped in broad except blocks, so instead of crashing they used to fall back to a plain socket withssl_flag=Falsemeaning SSL detection and the weak-cert/weak-version vuln checks just stopped working on 3.12, with no error at all.This PR swaps both to use
ssl.SSLContextinstead. The two spots needed different treatment though:socket.py:ssl_flaghere is just used for scan metadata/logging, so it's safe to lock this down to TLS 1.2+.ssl.py:ssl_flaghere actually gates whether the weak-version/weak-cipher checks run at all. If I locked this one down too, it would silently stop detecting servers still running TLS 1.0/1.1 which would be the opposite of what the module is supposed to do. So this one stays permissive on purpose, same as the existingis_weak_cipher_suite()code already does.Also updated the two tests that were mocking the now-removed
ssl.wrap_socketso they mockssl.SSLContextinstead.Fixes #1190
Fixes #1302
