Finding ID Severity Title Description
V-251423 High The Ivanti EPMM server must be configured to implement FIPS 140-2 mode for all server and agent encryption. Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session. Remote access is access to DoD non-public information systems by an authorized user (or an information system) communicating through an external, non-organization-controlled network. A block cipher mode is an algorithm that features the...
V-251420 High The Ivanti EPMM server must use a FIPS-validated cryptographic module to generate cryptographic hashes. FIPS 140-2 precludes the use of invalidated cryptography for the cryptographic protection of sensitive or valuable data within Federal systems. Unvalidated cryptography is viewed by NIST as providing no protection to the information or data. In effect, the data would be considered unprotected plaintext. If the agency specifies that the...
V-251418 High The Ivanti EPMM server must be maintained at a supported version. The UEM vendor maintains specific product versions for a specific period of time. MDM/EMM server versions no longer supported by the vendor will not receive security updates for new vulnerabilities, which leaves them subject to exploitation. Satisfies: FPT_TUD_EXT.1.1, FPT_TUD_EXT.1.2 Reference: PP-MDM-414005
V-251416 High The Ivanti EPMM server must configure web management tools with FIPS-validated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher block algorithm to protect the confidentiality of maintenance and diagnostic communications for nonlocal maintenance sessions. Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session. Nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities are activities conducted by individuals communicating through either an external network (e.g., the internet) or an internal network.
V-251413 High The Ivanti EPMM server must use FIPS-validated SHA-2 or higher hash function to protect the integrity of keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC), Key Derivation Functions (KDFs), Random Bit Generation, and hash-only applications. Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. Nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities are activities conducted by individuals communicating through either an external network (e.g., the internet) or an internal network. Note: Although allowed by SP800-131Ar1 for some applications, SHA-1 is considered a compromised hashing...
V-251777 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must be configured to lock an administrator's account for at least 15 minutes after the account has been locked because the maximum number of unsuccessful login attempts has been exceeded. 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 account. Satisfies:FMT_SMF.1(2)b Reference:PP-MDM-431030
V-251774 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must configured to lock administrator accounts after three unsuccessful login attempts. 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 account. Satisfies:FMT_SMF.1(2)b Reference:PP-MDM-431030
V-251422 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must be configured in accordance with the security configuration settings based on DoD security configuration or implementation guidance, including STIGs, NSA configuration guides, CTOs, and DTMs. Configuring the application to implement organization-wide security implementation guides and security checklists ensures compliance with federal standards and establishes a common security baseline across DoD that reflects the most restrictive security posture consistent with operational requirements. Configuration settings are the set of parameters that can be changed that affect the...
V-251421 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must, at a minimum, off-load audit logs of interconnected systems in real time and off-load standalone systems weekly. Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. Satisfies: FMT_SMF.1.1(2) c.8, FAU_STG_EXT.1.1(1) Reference: PP-MDM-411054
V-251419 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must be configured with the periodicity of the following commands to the agent of six hours or less: - query connectivity status - query the current version of the managed device firmware/software - query the current version of installed mobile applications - read audit logs kept by the managed device. Without verification, security functions may not operate correctly and this failure may go unnoticed. Security function is defined as the hardware, software, and/or firmware of the information system responsible for enforcing the system security policy and supporting the isolation of code and data on which the protection is based. Security...
V-251417 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must only allow the use of DoD PKI established certificate authorities for verification of the establishment of protected sessions. Untrusted Certificate Authorities (CA) can issue certificates, but they may be issued by organizations or individuals that seek to compromise DoD systems or by organizations with insufficient security controls. If the CA used for verifying the certificate is not a DoD-approved CA, trust of this CA has not been established....
V-251415 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must be configured to transfer Ivanti EPMM server logs to another server for storage, analysis, and reporting. Note: Ivanti EPMM server logs include logs of UEM events and logs transferred to the Ivanti EPMM server by UEM agents of managed devices. Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. Note: UEM server logs include logs of UEM events and logs transferred to the UEM server by UEM agents of managed devices. Satisfies:...
V-251414 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must automatically terminate a user session after an organization-defined period of user inactivity. Automatic session termination addresses the termination of user-initiated logical sessions in contrast to the termination of network connections that are associated with communications sessions (i.e., network disconnect). A logical session (for local, network, and remote access) is initiated whenever a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) accesses...
V-251412 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one special character be used. Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password complexity is one factor in determining how long it takes to...
V-251411 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one numeric character be used. Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password complexity is one factor of several that determine how long it...
V-251410 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one lowercase character be used. Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password complexity is one factor of several that determine how long it...
V-251409 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one uppercase character be used. Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password complexity is one factor of several that determine how long it...
V-251408 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must prohibit password reuse for a minimum of four 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 need to be changed at specific policy-based intervals. If the information system or application allows the user to consecutively reuse their password when...
V-251407 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must enforce a minimum 15-character password length. 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 effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that...
V-251406 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must be configured to use a DoD Central Directory Service to provide multifactor authentication for network access to privileged and non-privileged accounts. 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 compromises an account, the entire MDM server infrastructure is at risk. Providing automated support functions for the management of accounts will ensure only active accounts...
V-251405 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must back up audit records at least every seven days onto a log management server. Protection of log data includes ensuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Backing up audit records to a different system or onto separate media from the system being audited on an organizationally defined frequency helps ensure, in the event of a catastrophic system failure, the audit records will...
V-251404 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must alert the ISSO and SA (at a minimum) in the event of an audit processing failure. It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Audit processing...
V-251403 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must display the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to the application.
V-251402 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must enforce the limit of three consecutive invalid logon attempts by a user during a 15-minute time period. 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 account. Satisfies: FMT_SMF.1(2)b. Reference: PP-MDM-431028
V-251401 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must initiate a session lock after a 15-minute period of inactivity. A session time-out lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system, but does not log out because of the temporary nature of the absence. Rather than relying on the user to manually lock their application...
V-251400 Medium The Ivanti EPMM server must limit the number of concurrent sessions per privileged user account to three or less concurrent sessions. 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 limiting risks related to DoS attacks. This requirement may be met via the application or by utilizing information system...
