Finding ID Severity Title Description
V-234248 High All UEM Agent cryptography supporting DoD functionality must be FIPS 140-2 validated. Unapproved cryptographic algorithms cannot be relied on to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data could be compromised as a result. The most common vulnerabilities with cryptographic modules are those associated with poor implementation. FIPS 140-2 validation provides assurance that the relevant cryptography has been implemented correctly. FIPS 140-2 validation...
V-234247 Medium The UEM Agent must be configured to perform one of the following actions upon an attempt to unenroll the mobile device from management: -prevent the unenrollment from occurring -wipe the device to factory default settings -wipe the work profile with all associated applications and data. Access control of mobile devices to DoD sensitive information or access to DoD networks must be controlled so that DoD data will not be compromised. The primary method of access control of mobile devices is via enrollment of authorized mobile devices on the UEM server. Therefore, the UEM server must...
V-234246 Medium The UEM Agent must perform the following functions: -enroll in management -configure whether users can unenroll from management -configure periodicity of reachability events. Access control of mobile devices to DoD sensitive information or access to DoD networks must be controlled so that DoD data will not be compromised. The primary method of access control of mobile devices is via enrollment of authorized mobile devices on the UEM server. Therefore, the UEM server must...
V-234245 Medium The UEM Agent must record the reference identifier of the UEM Server during the enrollment process. 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. Satisfies: FIA_ENR_EXT.2.1
V-234244 Medium The UEM Agent must perform the following functions: Import the certificates to be used for authentication of UEM Agent communications. It is critical that the UEM agent only use validated certificates for policy updates. Otherwise, there is no assurance that a malicious actor has not inserted itself in the process of packaging the code or policy. Satisfies: FMT_SMF_EXT.4.1
V-234243 Medium The UEM Agent must only accept policies and policy updates that are digitally signed by a certificate that has been authorized for policy updates by the UEM Server. It is critical that the UEM agent only use validated certificates for policy updates. Otherwise, there is no assurance that a malicious actor has not inserted itself in the process of packaging the code or policy. Satisfies: FMT_POL_EXT.2.1
V-234242 Medium The UEM Agent must be configured to enable the following function: transfer managed endpoint device audit logs read by the UEM Agent to an UEM server or third-party audit management server. Audit logs and alerts enable monitoring of security-relevant events and subsequent forensics when breaches occur. They help identify when the security posture of the device is not as expected. This enables the UEM administrator to take an appropriate remedial action. MD audit logs must be transferred to an audit management...
V-234241 Medium The UEM Agent must queue alerts if the trusted channel is not available. Alerts providing notification of a change in enrollment state facilitate verification of the correct operation of security functions. When an UEM server receives such an alert from an UEM Agent, it indicates the security policy may no longer be enforced on the mobile device. This enables the UEM administrator to...
V-234240 Medium The UEM Agent must use managed endpoint device key storage for all persistent secret and private keys. If validated secure storage locations are not used for keys, they could be compromised. Satisfies: FCS_STG_EXT.1(2)
V-234239 Medium The UEM Agent must not install policies if the policy-signing certificate is deemed invalid. It is critical that the UEM agent only use validated certificates for policy updates. Otherwise, there is no assurance that a malicious actor has not inserted itself in the process of packaging the code or policy. Satisfies: FMT_POL_EXT.2.2
V-234238 Medium The UEM Agent must record within each UEM Agent audit record the following information: -date and time of the event -type of event -subject identity -(if relevant) the outcome (success or failure) of the event. 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. Satisfies: FAU_GEN.1.2(2) Refinement
V-234237 Medium The UEM Agent must be configured to enable the following function: read audit logs of the managed endpoint device. Audit logs and alerts enable monitoring of security-relevant events and subsequent forensics when breaches occur. They help identify when the security posture of the device is not as expected. This enables the UEM administrator to take an appropriate remedial action. Satisfies: FMT_SMF_EXT.4.1 Reference: PP-UEM-401005
V-234236 Medium The UEM Agent must generate a UEM Agent audit record of the following auditable events:-startup and shutdown of the UEM Agent-UEM policy updated-any modification commanded by the UEM Server. 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 records can be generated from various components within the application (e.g., process, module). Certain specific application functionalities may be audited as...
V-234235 Medium The UEM Agent must provide an alert via the trusted channel to the UEM Server in the event of any of the following audit events: -successful application of policies to a mobile device -receiving or generating periodic reachability events -change in enrollment state -failure to install an application from the UEM Server -failure to update an application from the UEM Server. Alerts providing notification of a change in enrollment state facilitate verification of the correct operation of security functions. When an UEM server receives such an alert from an UEM Agent, it indicates the security policy may no longer be enforced on the mobile device. This enables the UEM administrator to...
