Vulnerability discussion

Cameras used with Voice Video Endpoints may reveal sensitive or classified information. This is especially at risk when unclassified conversations are conducted in classified spaces. Users or operators of videoconferencing systems must take care regarding what is being said and seen during a conference call and what sensitive information can be picked up by a camera or microphone. Voice Video Endpoints used in classified areas must use hardware mechanisms such as push-to-see (PTS) to prevent sensitive or classified information picked up by the camera in the area of the call from being transmitted over unclassified systems. This capability mitigates the risk to compromise sensitive or classified information not related to the conversation in progress.

Check content

If the unclassified Voice Video Endpoint is not deployed where sensitive or classified information is displayed or discussed, this check procedure is Not Applicable. Verify the Voice Video Endpoint camera provides hardware mechanisms, such as push-to-see camera switches, to prevent pickup and transmission of sensitive or classified information over non-secure networks. If the Voice Video Endpoint camera does not provide hardware mechanisms, such as push-to-see camera switches, to prevent pickup and transmission of sensitive or classified information over non-secure networks, this is a finding. If the Voice Video Endpoint camera does provide hardware mechanisms but is not configured to use these features, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the Voice Video Endpoint camera hardware mechanisms, such as push-to-see camera switches, to prevent pickup and transmission of sensitive or classified information over non-secure networks.

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.
