The container platform must protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by logically separated communications paths.

STIG ID: SRG-APP-000880-CTR-000290  |  SRG: SRG-APP-000880 |  Severity: medium |  CCI: CCI-004192 |  Vulnerability Id: V-263598

Vulnerability Discussion

Nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities are conducted by individuals who communicate through either an external or internal network.
Communications paths can be logically separated using encryption.

Check

Verify the container platform is configured to protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by logically separated communications paths.

If the container platform is not configured to protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by logically separated communications paths, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the container platform to protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by logically separated communications paths.
