Vulnerability discussion

Application servers provide a myriad of differing processes, features, and functionalities. Some of these processes may be deemed to be unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production DoD system. Remote Adobe LiveCycle Data Management access allows LiveCycle Data Services ES to connect to the ColdFusion server through RMI and use CFCs to read and update data that supports a Flex application. If this feature is not needed for hosted applications and is enabled, an attacker could use this feature to compromise the ColdFusion server.

Check content

Ask the administrator if LiveCycle Data Services ES are being used by any hosted applications. If hosted applications are using the service, this is not a finding. Within the Administrator Console, navigate to the "Flex Integration" page under the "Data & Services" menu. If "Enable Remote Adobe LiveCycle Data Management access" is checked, this is a finding.

Fix text

Navigate to the "Flex Integration" page under the "Data & Services" menu. Uncheck "Enable Remote Adobe Live Cycle Data Management access" and select the "Submit Changes" button.

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.
