Vulnerability discussion

If unsecured functions (lacking FIPS-validated cryptographic mechanisms) are used for management sessions, the contents of those sessions are susceptible to manipulation, potentially allowing alteration and hijacking.J-Web (configured using the system services web-management option) does not meet the DoD requirement for management tools. It also does not work with all Juniper SRX hardware. By default, the web interface is disabled; however, it is easily enabled.

Check content

Verify web-management is not enabled. [edit] show system services web-management If a stanza exists that configures web-management service options, this is a finding.

Fix text

Remove the web-management service. [edit] delete system services web-management

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.
