SV-99803r1_rule HAProxy must limit access to the statistics feature.

Vulnerability discussion

A web server can provide many features, services, and processes. Some of these may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to be accessible on a production DoD system. HAProxy provide a statistics page, which will display web browser statistics from any web browser if HAProxy has not been configured to connect the server statistics to a UNIX socket.

Check content

At the command prompt, execute the following command: grep 'stats socket' /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg If the command does not return the line below, this is a finding. stats socket /var/run/haproxy.sock mode 600 level admin

Fix text

Uninstall or deactivate features, services, and processes not needed by the web server for operation.

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.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
