Vulnerability discussion

Publishing applications to users via the Kiosk mode bypasses a login mode. Therefore, some applications may or may not provide security to identify and authorize users to the application. For instance, adding the xterm application provides users with access to a command-line interface from a Kiosk mode session. This is not ideal since users should not be able to access the server’s command line functionality. Therefore, only approved applications will be published to users.

Check content

Request a copy of the documentation that lists all approved applications. If unapproved applications are published to users that are not on the list, this is a finding. If no list exists, this is a finding.

Fix text

Document and approve all published applications running on the Sun Ray network.

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.
