Vulnerability discussion

Since the accounts in the network device are privileged or system-level accounts, account management is vital to the security of the network device. Account management by a designated authority ensures access to the network device is being controlled in a secure manner by granting access to only authorized personnel with the appropriate and necessary privileges. Auditing account modification along with an automatic notification to appropriate individuals will provide the necessary reconciliation that account management procedures are being followed. If modifications to management accounts are not audited, reconciliation of account management procedures cannot be tracked.

Check content

Verify that RiOS is configured to generate a log event for account creation events. Create an account Modify this user account Navigate to the device Management Console, then Navigate to: Reports >> Diagnostics >> System Logs Enter the account name into the filter and click Go Delete the account that was created If no event record for the user creation action exists in the event log, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure RiOS to generate a log event for account creation events. Navigate to the device Management Console, then Navigate to: Configure >> System Settings >> Logging Under Configuration, set minimum severity to Info Click "Save" (The actual level for these messages is Notifications; however, other settings in this STIG call for the Info level and only one can be selected.)

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.
