Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-36051 SRG-APP-190-MDM-047-SRV SV-47440r1_rule Low
Description
If communications sessions remain open for extended periods of time even when unused, there is the potential for an adversary to highjack the session and use it to gain access to the device or networks to which it is attached. Terminating sessions after a certain period of inactivity is a method for mitigating the risk of this vulnerability.
