SV-91561r1_rule The IIS 8.5 website must have a unique application pool.

Vulnerability discussion

Application pools isolate sites and applications to address reliability, availability, and security issues. Sites and applications may be grouped according to configurations, although each site will be associated with a unique application pool.

Check content

Open the IIS 8.5 Manager. Click "Application Pools". In the list of Application Pools, review the "Applications" column and verify none show more than "1" application. If any Application Pools show being applied to more than 1 application, this is a finding.

Fix text

Open the IIS 8.5 Manager. Click the site name under review. Assign a unique application pool to each website.

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.
