MLE Decryption Failing

[coleyb]

I'll first start by saying I am not sure if this on the CyberSource Test API side or this gem. I reached out to their support but it's getting no where. We recently ran into an issue where MLE decryption stopped working when no changes or deployments were made on our side. We are on version 0.0.82 of this gem. We are hitting apitest.cybersource.com and attempting to call.

      payment_instance = CyberSource::PaymentsApi.new(api_client, config)

      response, status_code = payment_instance.create_payment(request_obj)

The error returned is CyberSource::ApiError Exception: Failure when receiving data from the peer. It works fine when enableResponseMleGlobally is set to false. We already tried swapping out our certs to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated! Below is our log output as well:
