Vulnerability discussion

Class 3 PKI certificates are used for servers and software signing rather than for identifying individuals. Class 4 certificates are used for business-to-business transactions. Utilizing unapproved certificates not issued or approved by DoD or CNS creates an integrity risk. The vAMI must utilize approved DoD or CNS Class 3 or Class 4 certificates for software signing and business-to-business transactions.

Check content

Interview the ISSO and/or the SA. Determine if the vAMI is using PKI Class 3 or Class 4 certificates. If the vAMI is using PKI Class 3 or Class 4 certificates, and the certificates are not DoD- or CNSS-approved, this is a finding.

Fix text

If the vAMI is using PKI Class 3 or Class 4 certificates, install certificates that are DoD or CNSS approved.
