  • SRG-APP-000172

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • For accounts using password authentication, the container platform must use FIPS-validated SHA-2 or later protocol to protect the integrity of the password authentication process.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Passwords need to be protected on entry, in transmission, during authentication, and when stored. If compromised at any of th...

  • SRG-APP-000173

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The container platform must enforce 24 hours (one day) as the minimum password lifetime.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Enforcing a minimum password lifetime helps prevent repeated password changes to defeat the password reuse or history enforce...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000174

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The container platform must enforce a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Any password, no matter how complex, can eventually be cracked. Therefore, passwords need to be changed at specific intervals...

  • SRG-APP-000177

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The container platform must map the authenticated identity to the individual user or group account for PKI-based authentication.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The container platform and its components may require authentication before use. When the authentication is PKI-based, the co...

  • SRG-APP-000178

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The container platform must obscure feedback of authentication information during the authentication process to protect the information from possible exploitation/use by unauthorized individuals.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;To prevent the compromise of authentication information such as passwords during the authentication process, the feedback fro...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000181

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The container platform must provide an audit reduction capability that supports on-demand reporting requirements.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The ability to generate on-demand reports, including after the audit data has been subjected to audit reduction, greatly faci...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000185

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The container platform must employ strong authenticators in the establishment of non-local maintenance and diagnostic sessions.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If maintenance tools are used by unauthorized personnel, they may accidentally or intentionally damage or compromise the syst...

  • SRG-APP-000190

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • 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.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take c...

  • SRG-APP-000211

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The container platform must separate user functionality (including user interface services) from information system management functionality.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Separating user functionality from management functionality is a requirement for all the components within the container plat...

  • SRG-APP-000219

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • 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.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The container platform is responsible for pulling images from trusted sources and placing those images into its registry. To ...

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
