Vulnerability discussion

Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to determine strength and how long it takes to crack a password.Since the device cannot be configured for password complexity, not having a strong password can result in the success of a brute force attack, which would give immediate access to a privileged system.

Check content

Verify the minimum password length is set to "15". Navigate to Settings >> Initial Configuration >> Authentication. If the "Minimum User Password Length" is not set to "15", this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the minimum password length to "15". Navigate to Settings >> Initial Configuration >> Authentication. Enter "15" in the "Minimum User Password Length". Click on "Commit".

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.
