Vulnerability discussion

Without the capability to remotely view/hear all content related to a user session, investigations into suspicious user activity would be hampered. Real-time monitoring allows authorized personnel to take action before additional damage is done. The ability to observe user sessions as they are happening allows for interceding in ongoing events that after-the-fact review of captured content would not allow.

Check content

Verify the operating system provides the capability for authorized users to remotely view/hear, in real time, all content related to an established user session from a component separate from the operating system being monitored. If it does not, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the operating system to provide the capability for authorized users to remotely view/hear, in real time, all content related to an established user session from a component separate from the operating system being monitored.

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.
