Findings (MAC III - Administrative Sensitive)

Finding ID	Severity	Title	Description
V-255254	High	SSMC web server must use cryptography to protect the integrity of remote sessions.	Data exchanged between the user and the web server can range from static display data to credentials used to Log on to the hosted application. Even when data appears to be static, the nondisplayed...
V-255253	High	SSMC web server must use encryption strength in accordance with the categorization of data hosted by the web server when remote connections are provided.	The SSMC web server has several remote communications channels. Examples are user requests via http/https, communication to a backend database, or communication to authenticate users. The...
V-255251	High	The SSMC web server must use cryptographic modules that meet the requirements of applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance for such authentication.	Encryption is only as good as the encryption modules utilized. Unapproved cryptographic module algorithms cannot be verified and cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and...
V-255256	Medium	SSMC web server must generate information to be used by external applications or entities to monitor and control remote access.	Remote access to the web server is any access that communicates through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access can be used to access hosted applications or to perform...
V-255257	Medium	SSMC web server must generate information to be used by external applications or entities to monitor and control remote access.	Remote access to the web server is any access that communicates through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access can be used to access hosted applications or to perform...
V-255255	Medium	SSMC web server must generate information to be used by external applications or entities to monitor and control remote access.	Remote access to the web server is any access that communicates through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access can be used to access hosted applications or to perform...
V-255252	Medium	SSMC web server must limit the number of allowed simultaneous session requests.	Web server management includes the ability to control the number of users and user sessions that utilize a web server. Limiting the number of allowed users and sessions per user is helpful in...
V-255263	Medium	SSMC web server must restrict connections from nonsecure zones.	Remote access to the web server is any access that communicates through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access can be used to access hosted applications or to perform...
V-255269	Medium	SSMC web server must use a logging mechanism that is configured to alert the ISSO and SA in the event of a processing failure.	Reviewing log data allows an investigator to recreate the path of an attacker and to capture forensic data for later use. Log data is also essential to system administrators in their daily...
V-255264	Medium	SSMC web server application, libraries, and configuration files must only be accessible to privileged users.	A web server can be modified through parameter modification, patch installation, upgrades to the web server or modules, and security parameter changes. With each of these changes, there is the...
V-255261	Medium	SSMC web server must set an inactive timeout for sessions.	Leaving sessions open indefinitely is a major security risk. An attacker can easily use an already authenticated session to access the hosted application as the previously authenticated user. By...
V-255258	Medium	The SSMC web server must be configured to use a specified IP address and port.	The web server must be configured to listen on a specified IP address and port. Without specifying an IP address and port for the web server to utilize, the web server will listen on all IP...
V-255259	Medium	The SSMC web server must perform RFC 5280-compliant certification path validation.	A certificate's certification path is the path from the end entity certificate to a trusted root certification authority (CA). Certification path validation is necessary for a relying party to...
V-255268	Medium	SSMC web server must initiate session logging upon start up.	An attacker can compromise a web server during the startup process. If logging is not initiated until all the web server processes are started, key information may be missed and not available...
V-255260	Medium	SSMC web server must set an absolute timeout for sessions.	Leaving sessions open indefinitely is a major security risk. An attacker can easily use an already authenticated session to access the hosted application as the previously authenticated user. By...
V-255267	Medium	SSMC web server must generate, at a minimum, log records for system startup and shutdown, system access, and system authentication events.	Log records can be generated from various components within the web server (e.g., httpd, plug-ins to external backends, etc.). From a web server perspective, certain specific web server...
V-255265	Medium	SSMC web server must enable strict two-factor authentication for access to the webUI.	Accounts secured with only a password are subject to multiple forms of attack, from brute force, to social engineering. By enforcing strict two-factor authentication, this reduces the risk of...
V-255262	Medium	SSMC web server must set an inactive timeout for shell sessions.	Leaving sessions open indefinitely is a major security risk. An attacker can easily use an already authenticated session to access the hosted application as the previously authenticated user. By...
V-255266	Medium	SSMC web server must not impede the ability to write specified log record content to an audit log server.	Writing events to a centralized management audit system offers many benefits to the enterprise over having dispersed logs. Centralized management of audit records and logs provides for efficiency...
