Description
<VulnDiscussion>This requirement addresses the confidentiality and integrity of system information at rest (e.g., network device rule sets) when it is located on a storage device within the network device or as a component of the network device. This protection is required to prevent unauthorized alteration, corruption, or disclosure of information when not stored directly on the network device. Files on the network device or on removable media used by the device must have their permissions set...
Fix Text (Documentation Requirement)
Review the SSP or other documentation for a list of user accounts and privileges. Set the file permissions on files on Forescout or on removable media used by the device so that only authorized administrators can read or change their contents. This is completed by limiting access to SUDO accounts and command line admin accounts. 1. Review accounts with incorrect update privileges to Forescout appliance configuration by selecting Tools >> Options >> CounterACT User Profiles. 2. Select a user to edit. 3. Select the "Permissions" tab. 4. Ensure the "CounterACT Appliance Configuration" and "CounterACT Appliance Control" radio buttons are set to "View only".
