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 Inspection is used to debug mobile applications and may contain sensitive information. This feature may be necessary as applications are built and tested, but once in a production environment, this setting is not necessary for daily operations and must be disabled.

Check content

Within the Administrator Console, navigate to the "Remote Inspection Settings" page under the "Debugging & Logging" menu. If "Allow Remote Inspection" is checked, this is a finding.

Fix text

Navigate to the "Remote Inspection Settings" page under the "Debugging & Logging" menu. Uncheck "Allow Remote Inspection" 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.
