PayPal Merchant Technical Services merchant centre contacted me today. They said there is a Poodle vulnerability issue so are cancelling SSL3.0 and changing to TLS on dec 3rd. They said I need to contact my ecommerce platform providers to ensure there is no problem. Is there anything which needs changing or adapting before this happens?

Hello. We received a email from PayPal: We have PayPal v3.7.2 by PrestaShop Officiall module. PrestaShop version 1.6.0.9 Is this module vulnerable to POODLE? And if no, why did we get this message from PayPal? I also see another module such as PayPal Europe and two forum topics for it: 1. PayPal Modification SSL V3 to TLS 2. [important] Deadline for MAJ PayPal Europe module: January 12, 2015 I didn't find any such topics about our module.

Hi all, Since the SSL v3 issue (also known as POODLE) was identified on October 14, PayPal has decided to completely disable SSL 3.0 support at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on December 3, 2014. POODLE is an internet security vulnerability that impacts the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 protocol, which was designed to ensure secure connections when surfing on the Internet. As a consequence all PayPal merchant customers using PrestaShop need to update their PayPal integration by upgrading their PayPal module on PrestaShop before December 3rd disable SSL 3.0 for their client interactions. If you do not upgrade your PayPal module on PrestaShop by this date, you may face interruptions to your ability to accept payments with PayPal. To make sure your integration is protected against this vulnerability and to keep accepting PayPal payments beyond this date, you need to upgrade your PayPal module to version 3.8.0 by following these steps: Users of version 1.5 and 1.6 of PrestaShop 1- Go to PrestaShop back office in the list of modules installed 2- Click on the « Update it » button next to PayPal module If this button doesn’t appear, please follow the same steps as the ones described below for “users of version 1.4 de PrestaShop” The upgrade to version 3.8.0 will then complete.

You need to carry out a manual update of the module. Please go to the “Modules” section in the Back Office of your store 3.
