SV-78645r1_rule OHS must have the WLProxySSL directive enabled to protect the integrity of remote sessions when integrated with WebLogic in accordance with the categorization of data hosted by the web server.

Vulnerability discussion

Data exchanged between the user and the web server can range from static display data to credentials used to log into the hosted application. Even when data appears to be static, the non-displayed logic in a web page may expose business logic or trusted system relationships. The integrity of all the data being exchanged between the user and web server must always be trusted. To protect the integrity and trust, encryption methods should be used to protect the complete communication session.

Check content

If using the WebLogic Web Server Proxy Plugin and configuring SSL termination at OHS: 1. Open every .conf file (e.g., ssl.conf) included in $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS//httpd.conf with an editor that contains an SSL-enabled "" directive. 2. Search for the "WLProxySSL" directive within an "" at the virtual host configuration scope. 3. If the directive is omitted or is not set to "On", this is a finding.

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.
