Vulnerability discussion

When application accounts are removed, administrator accessibility is affected. Accounts are used for identifying individual device administrators or for identifying the device processes themselves. In order to detect and respond to events that affect administrator accessibility and device processing, devices must audit account removal actions and, as required, notify the appropriate individuals so they can investigate the event. Such a capability greatly reduces the risk that device accessibility will be negatively affected for extended periods of time and also provides logging that can be used for forensic purposes.

Check content

Verify that the portal is sending Luna Event notifications: 1. Log in to the Luna Portal as an administrator. 2. Select Configure >> Alerts. 3. Search/filter for "Luna Control Center Event". 4. Click on "account removal". 5. Verify that the following settings are selected by clicking the "Settings" button: "Manage - Manage Users". If the Luna Control Center event notifications are not enabled, this is a finding.

Fix text

Enable Luna Event notifications: 1. Log in to the Luna Portal as an administrator. 2. Select Configure >> Alerts. 3. Click the "Create New Alert" button. 4. Select "Luna Control Center Event" and press the "Next" button. 5. Check the box that reads "Manage - Manage Users". 6. Proceed through the alert creation wizard, filling out the appropriate fields, and then click "Submit".

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.
