Vulnerability discussion

Proper handling of temporary, inactive, and emergency accounts require automatic notification and action rather than at the convenience of the systems administrator. However in the absence of automated process manual procedures must be in place to assure that possible sensitive accounts are not compromised.

Check content

Ask the system administrator (SA) for documented manual procedures to handle temporary, inactive, and emergency accounts. If there are no procedures or they are not documented and filed with the ISSM/ISSO, this is a finding.

Fix text

Develop a manual procedure to handle temporary, inactive, and emergency accounts in accordance with appropriate policies. Ensure that the procedures are documented and filed with ISSM/ISSO.

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.
