The Juniper SRX Services Gateway must reveal log messages or management console alerts only to the ISSO, ISSM, and SA roles).


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity

Description
Only authorized personnel should be aware of errors and the details of the errors. Error messages are an indicator of an organization's operational state. Additionally, sensitive account information must not be revealed through error messages to unauthorized personnel or their designated representatives. Although, based on policy, administrator accounts must be created on the AAA server, thus this requirement addresses the creation of unauthorized accounts on the Juniper SRX itself. This does not negate the need to address this requirement on the AAA server and the event monitoring server (e.g., Syslog, Security Information and Event Management [SIEM], or SNMP servers).

If classes or users that are not authorized to have access to the logs (e.g., crypto-admin) have permissions to view or access error message in logs and/or notifications, this is a finding.

Configure login classes and permissions and assign only authorized users to each class.

If any classes are mapped to the audit-admin, security-admin, or system-admin login templates, delete the command from the class by typing delete in front of the command or retyping the command with the permission removed from the list.

Example configuration:
set system login class audit-admin allow-commands "(show log *)|(clear log *)|(monitor
log *)"
set system login class audit-admin allow-configuration "(system syslog)"
set system login class emergency permissions all
set system login class emergency login-alarms
set system login class security-admin login-alarms
set system login class system-admin login-alarms
