Vulnerability discussion

Information can be either unintentionally or maliciously disclosed or modified during reception, including, for example, during aggregation, at protocol transformation points, and during packing/unpacking. These unauthorized disclosures or modifications compromise the confidentiality or integrity of the information.Protecting the confidentiality and integrity of received information requires that application servers take measures to employ approved cryptography in order to protect the information during transmission over the network. This is usually achieved through the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS), SSL VPN, or IPsec tunnel. The web server must utilize approved encryption when receiving transmitted data.

Check content

If using the WebLogic Web Server Proxy Plugin and configuring end-to-end SSL: 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 "SecureProxy" 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.

Search for the "SecureProxy" directive within an "" at the virtual host configuration scope. 3. Set the "SecureProxy" directive to "On", add the directive if it does not exist.

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.
