Vulnerability discussion

Making certain that the web server has not been updated by an unauthorized user is always a concern. Adding patches, functions, and modules that are untested and not part of the baseline opens the possibility for security risks. The web server must offer, and not hinder, a method that allows for the quick and easy reinstallation of a verified and patched baseline to guarantee the production web server is up-to-date and has not been modified to add functionality or expose security risks.Because tc Server is installed as part of the entire vRA application, and not installed separately, VMware has ensured that all updates, upgrades, and patches have been thoroughly tested before becoming part of the production build process.

Check content

Interview the ISSO. Review the web server documentation and deployed configuration to determine if the tc Server code baseline is documented and maintained. If the tc Server code baseline is not documented and maintained, this is a finding.

Fix text

Develop baseline documentation of the tc Server codebase.

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.
