Findings (MAC II - Mission Support Classified)

Finding ID	Severity	Title	Description
V-225649	High	The Samsung SDS EMM server must be configured to use one-time password in addition to username and password for administrator logon to the server.	Two-factor authentication ensures strong authentication and access controls are in place for privileged accounts. But One-Time Passwords (OTP) do not meet DoD requirements that system...
V-245525	High	The Samsung SDS EMM must be configured to leverage the MDM platform administrator accounts and groups for Samsung SDS EMM user identification and CAC authentication.	A comprehensive account management process that includes automation helps to ensure the accounts designated as requiring attention are consistently and promptly addressed. If an attacker...
V-245526	High	Authentication of MDM platform accounts must be configured so they are implemented via an enterprise directory service.	A comprehensive account management process that includes automation helps to ensure the accounts designated as requiring attention are consistently and promptly addressed. If an attacker...
V-225650	High	The Samsung SDS EMM server must be maintained at a supported version.	Versions of Samsung SDS EMM are maintained by Samsung SDS for specific periods of time. Unsupported versions will not receive security updates for new vulnerabilities which leaves them subject to...
V-225642	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM or platform must be configured to initiate a session lock after a 15-minute period of inactivity.	A session time-out lock is a temporary action taken when a user (MDM system administrator) stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not log...
V-225643	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM must be configured to transfer Samsung SDS EMM logs to another server for storage, analysis, and reporting. Note: Samsung SDS EMM logs include logs of MDM events and logs transferred to the Samsung SDS EMM by MDM agents of managed devices.	Audit logs enable monitoring of security-relevant events and subsequent forensics when breaches occur. Since the Samsung SDS EMM has limited capability to store mobile device log files and perform...
V-225641	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM must be configured to communicate the following commands to the MDM Agent: read audit logs kept by the MD.	Audit logs enable monitoring of security-relevant events and subsequent forensics when breaches occur. For audit logs to be useful, administrators must have the ability to view them. SFR ID:...
V-225646	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM must be configured to have at least one user in the following Administrator roles: Server primary administrator, security configuration administrator, device user group administrator, auditor.	Having several administrative roles for the Samsung SDS EMM supports separation of duties. This allows administrator-level privileges to be granted granularly, such as giving application...
V-225647	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM must be configured to audit DoD or site-defined auditable events. Note: See VulDiscussion for a list of DoD required auditable events.	Without the capability to generate audit records, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident, or identify those responsible for one. Audit...
V-225644	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM must be configured to display the required DoD warning banner upon administrator logon. Note: This requirement is not applicable if the TOE platform is selected in FTA_TAB.1.1 in the Security Target (ST).	Note: The advisory notice and consent warning message is not required if the general purpose OS or network device displays an advisory notice and consent warning message when the administrator...
V-225645	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM must be configured with a periodicity for reachable events of six hours or less for the following commands to the agent: - query connectivity status; - query the current version of the MD firmware/software; - query the current version of installed mobile applications; - read audit logs kept by the MD.	Key security-related status attributes must be queried frequently so the Samsung SDS EMM can report status of devices under management to the administrator and management. The frequency of these...
V-225654	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM must limit the number of concurrent sessions to one session for all accounts and/or account types.	Application management includes the ability to control the number of users and user sessions that utilize an application. Limiting the number of allowed users and sessions per user is helpful in...
V-245527	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM local accounts password must be configured with length of 15 characters.	The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the...
V-225651	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM platform must be protected by a DoD-approved firewall.	Most information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services provided by default may not be necessary to support essential...
V-225653	Medium	The firewall protecting the Samsung SDS EMM platform must be configured so that only DoD-approved ports, protocols, and services are enabled. See the DoD Ports, Protocols, Services Management [PPSM] Category Assurance Levels [CAL] list for DoD-approved ports, protocols, and services.	All ports, protocols, and services used on DoD networks must be approved and registered via the DoD PPSM process. This is to ensure that a risk assessment has been completed before a new port,...
V-225652	Medium	The firewall protecting the Samsung SDS EMM platform must be configured to restrict all network traffic to and from all addresses with the exception of ports, protocols, and IP address ranges required to support Samsung SDS EMM and platform functions.	Most information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services, provided by default, may not be necessary to support essential...
V-245529	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM local accounts must prohibit password reuse for a minimum of five generations.	Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. To meet password policy requirements, passwords...
V-245528	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM local accounts must be configured with password maximum lifetime of 60 Days.	Any password, no matter how complex, can eventually be cracked. Therefore, passwords need to be changed at specific intervals. One method of minimizing this risk is to use complex passwords...
V-225655	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM must automatically disable accounts after a 35 day period of account inactivity (local accounts).	Attackers that are able to exploit an inactive account can potentially obtain and maintain undetected access to an application. Owners of inactive accounts will not notice if unauthorized access...
V-225657	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM must use multifactor authentication for local access to privileged accounts.	To ensure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, privileged users must use multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Multifactor...
V-225656	Medium	The Samsung SDS EMM must enforce the limit of three consecutive invalid logon attempts by a user.	By limiting the number of failed login attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute forcing, is reduced. Limits are imposed by locking the...
V-225640	Low	The Samsung SDS EMM must implement functionality to generate an audit record of the following auditable events: c. [selection: Commands issued to the MDM Agent].	Audit logs enable monitoring of security-relevant events and subsequent forensics when breaches occur. For audit logs to be useful, administrators must have the ability to view them. SFR ID:...
V-225648	Low	The [selection: Samsung SDS EMM, MDM platform] must have the capability to display the DoD warning banner prior to establishing a user session.	Display of the DoD-approved use notification before granting access to the application ensures privacy and security notification verbiage used is consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive...
