Vulnerability discussion

Being able to verify that a patch, upgrade, certificate, etc., being added to the web server is unchanged from the producer of the file is essential for file validation and non-repudiation of the information.Expansion that are installed on the production HAProxy web server on vRA must be part of a documented build process. Checksums of the production files must be available to verify their integrity.

Check content

Interview the ISSO. Determine whether expansion modules are being fully reviewed, tested, and signed before being implemented into the production environment. If the expansion modules are not being fully reviewed, tested, and signed before being implemented into the production environment, this is a finding.

Fix text

Ensure expansion modules are fully reviewed, tested, and signed before being implemented into the production environment.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.
