Vulnerability discussion

Allowing movement of files between the container and personal side will result in both personal data and sensitive DoD data being placed in the same space. This can potentially result in DoD data being transmitted to non-authorized recipients via personal email accounts or social applications, or transmission of malicious files to DoD accounts. Disabling this feature mitigates this risk.SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #45

Check content

This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the LG Android device. On the MDM console, do the following: 1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Allow content sharing from work profile to personal space (Work Profile only)" settings. 2. Verify that the setting is not checked. 3. Verify the policy has been assigned to all groups. On the LG Android device: 1. Launch badged "Contacts" app. 2. Choose one of the contacts to share. 3. Select the menu. 4. Choose a "Share". 5. Verify that the message "No application to perform this action" is displayed. If on the MDM console "Allow content sharing from work profile to personal space (Work Profile only)" is enabled or on the LG Android device a contact in the Work Profile can be shared, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the mobile operating system to disable cross-profile sharing. On the MDM Administration Console, set the "Allow Cross-Profile Sharing (for Work Profile)" to disable.

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.
