Vulnerability discussion

To mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information by entities that have been issued certificates by DoD-approved PKIs, all DoD systems must be properly configured to incorporate access control methods that do not rely solely on the possession of a certificate for access. Successful authentication must not automatically give an entity access to an asset or security boundary. Authorization procedures and controls must be implemented to ensure each authenticated entity also has a validated and current authorization. Authorization is the process of determining whether an entity, once authenticated, is permitted to access a specific asset. Network devices use access control policies and enforcement mechanisms to implement this requirement. Access control policies include identity-based policies, role-based policies, and attribute-based policies. Access enforcement mechanisms include access control lists, access control matrices, and cryptography. These policies and mechanisms must be employed by the network device to control access between administrators (or processes acting on behalf of administrators) and objects (e.g., device commands, files, records, processes) in the network device.

Check content

Verify that RiOS is configured to the assigned privilege level for each administrator. Navigate to the device CLI Type: show rbm users Verify that the privilege level is correct for each administrator -- or -- Navigate to the device Management Console Navigate to Configure >> Security >> User Permissions Verify that the privilege level is correct for each administrator If the privilege level settings are not in accordance with applicable policy, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure RiOS to enforce assigned privilege level for each administrator. Navigate to the device CLI Type: rbm user role permissions Set the value of username, role, and permissions according to the privilege level of the applicable policy Type: write memory to save the current configuration settings to memory -- or -- Navigate to the device Management Console Navigate to Configure >> Security >> User Permissions Set the values of 'Roles and Permissions' according to the privilege level in accordance with applicable policy Click "Apply" to save the changes Navigate to the top of the web page and click "Save" to write changes to memory

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.
