vSphere Client must have mappings set for Java servlet pages.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity

Description
Resource mapping is the process of tying a particular file type to a process in the web server that can serve that type of file to a requesting client and identify which file types are not to be delivered to a client. By not specifying which files can and cannot be served to a user, the web server could deliver to a user web server configuration files, log files, password files, etc. As Virgo is a Java-based web server, the main file extension used is *.jsp. This check ensures that the *.jsp and *.jspx file types has been properly mapped to servlets.

Navigate to and open /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-client/server/configuration/conf/web.xml.

Navigate to and locate the mapping for the JSP servlet. It is the node that contains jsp.

       jsp
       *.jsp
       *.jspx
