Vulnerability discussion

To ensure users do not experience denial of service when performing certificate-based authentication to DoD websites due to the system chaining to a root other than DoD Root CAs, the US DoD CCEB Interoperability Root CA cross-certificates must be installed in the Untrusted Certificate Store. This requirement only applies to unclassified systems.

Check content

Verify the US DoD CCEB Interoperability Root CA cross-certificate is installed on unclassified systems as an Untrusted Certificate. Run "MMC". Select "File", "Add/Remove Snap-in". Select "Certificates", click "Add". Select "Computer account", click "Next". Select "Local computer: (the computer this console is running on)", click "Finish". Click "OK". Expand "Certificates" and navigate to "Untrusted Certificates >> Certificates". For each certificate with "US DoD CCEB Interoperability Root CA …" under "Issued By": Right-click on the certificate and select "Open". Select the "Details" Tab. Scroll to the bottom and select "Thumbprint". If the certificate below is not listed or the value for the "Thumbprint" field is not as noted, this is a finding. If an expired certificate ("Valid to" date) is not listed in the results, this is not a finding. Issued To: DoD Root CA 2 Issued By: US DoD CCEB Interoperability Root CA 1 Thumbprint: DA36FAF56B2F6FBA1604F5BE46D864C9FA013BA3 Valid to: Saturday, March 9, 2019 Issued To: DoD Root CA 3 Issuer by: US DoD CCEB Interoperability Root CA 2 Thumbprint: 929BF3196896994C0A201DF4A5B71F603FEFBF2E Valid: Friday, September 27, 2019

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.
