Container Platform Security Requirements Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

The container platform must enforce a minimum 15-character password length.
The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectivene...Rule Medium Severity -

The container platform must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one uppercase character be used.
Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resistin...Rule Medium Severity -

The container platform must require the change of at least 15 of the total number of characters when passwords are changed.
If the application allows the user to consecutively reuse extensive portions of passwords, this increases the chances of password compromise by increasing the window of opportunity for attempts at ...Rule Medium Severity -

For container platform using password authentication, the application must store only cryptographic representations of passwords.
Passwords need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords. If passwords are not encrypted, they can be plainly read and easily compromised. Use of ...Rule Medium Severity -

The container platform must enforce 24 hours (one day) as the minimum password lifetime.
Enforcing a minimum password lifetime helps prevent repeated password changes to defeat the password reuse or history enforcement requirement. Restricting this setting limits the user's ability to...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000174
Group -
The container platform must enforce a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction.
Any password, no matter how complex, can eventually be cracked; therefore, passwords need to be changed at specific intervals. One method of minimizing this risk is to use complex passwords and p...Rule Medium Severity -

The container platform must provide an audit reduction capability that supports on-demand reporting requirements.
The ability to generate on-demand reports, including after the audit data has been subjected to audit reduction, greatly facilitates the organization's ability to generate incident reports as neede...Rule Medium Severity -

The application must terminate all network connections associated with a communications session at the end of the session, or as follows: for in-band management sessions (privileged sessions), the session must be terminated after 10 minutes of inactivity.
Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port th...Rule Medium Severity -

The container platform must protect authenticity of communications sessions with the use of FIPS-validated 140-2 or 140-3 security requirements for cryptographic modules.
The container platform is responsible for pulling images from trusted sources and placing those images into its registry. To protect the transmission of images, the container platform must use FIPS...Rule High Severity -

The container platform must preserve any information necessary to determine the cause of the disruption or failure.
When a failure occurs within the container platform, preserving the state of the container platform and its components, along with other container services, helps to facilitate container platform r...Rule Medium Severity -

The container platform runtime must isolate security functions from non-security functions.
The container platform runtime must be configured to isolate those services used for security functions from those used for non-security functions. This separation can be performed using environmen...Rule Medium Severity -

The container platform must notify system administrators (SAs) and the information system security officer (ISSO) when accounts are created.
