Vulnerability discussion

Auditing account removal actions will support account management procedures. When device management accounts are terminated, user or service accessibility may be affected. Auditing also ensures authorized active accounts remain enabled and available for use when required. Without this audit trail, personnel without the proper authorization may gain access to critical network nodes.An AAA server is required for account management in accordance with CCI-000370. Only a single account of last resort is permitted on the local device. However, since it is still possible for administrators to create local accounts either maliciously or to support mission needs, the SRX must be configured to log account management events.To log local account management events, ensure at least one external syslog server is configured to log facility any or facility change-log, and severity info or severity any.

Check content

Verify the device logs change-log events of severity info or any to an external syslog server. [edit] show system syslog host { any ; source-address ; } -OR- host { change-log ; source-address ; } If an external syslog host is not configured to log facility change-log severity , or configured for facility any severity , this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure at least one external syslog host is configured to log facility change-log or any, and severity info or any. [edit system syslog] set host any -OR- [edit] set host change-log

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.
