yaws_config.erl in Yaws through 2.0.2 and/or 2.0.7 loads obsolete TLS ciphers, as demonstrated by ones that allow Sweet32 attacks, if running on an Erlang/OTP virtual machine with a version less than 21.0.

Weakness

The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.
