Vulnerability discussion

Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised information system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and identify the risk from insider threats and the advanced persistent threat.

Check content

Verify the device generates a log event when commands are executed. Navigate to the device Management Console Navigate to Configure >> System Settings >> Logging Under Logging Configurations, verify Minimum Severity is set to Info If the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner does not exist on this page, this is a finding.

Fix text

Since all commands on the device are privileged commands, the following command ensures execution of commands are sent to the Syslog Server. Navigate to the Device Management Console Navigate to Configure >> System Settings >> Logging Under "Remote Log Servers", click "Add a New Log Server" Enter the server IP address Under Logging Configurations >> Minimum Severity, select "Info" Click "Add" Add an IP and Minimum Severity level for the backup Syslog server.

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.
