Vulnerability discussion

If no value is specified for the number of seconds for a disconnected kiosk session, the termination of disconnected sessions will be disabled. This could potentially leave open sessions and may cause the kiosk sessions to start incorrectly or to crash due to lack of resources from many sessions being open.

Check content

Within the Sun Ray Administration console, perform the following: 1. Select the Advanced Tab. 2. Select the Kiosk Mode Tab. 3. Click on the Edit button. 4. Select the preferred Kiosk Session from the Session drop-down list and verify the Timeout box has a value of 10 minutes or less, but not zero. The default is 12000 seconds. If it is greater than 600 seconds (10 minutues) or zero/blank, this is a finding. Should be configured to 600 seconds or less.

Fix text

Configure the Sun Ray Kiosk mode timeout value with a value of 10 minutes or less.

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.
