A Trellix Application Control written policy must be documented to outline the organization-specific variables for application whitelisting.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Enabling application whitelisting without adequate design and organization-specific requirements will either result in an implementation which is too relaxed or an implementation which causes denial of service to its user community. Documenting the specific requirements and trust model before configuring and deploying the Trellix Application Control software is mandatory.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

The configuration of features under Trellix Application Control Options policies Enforce feature control must be documented in the organizations written policy.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>By default, the Trellix Application Control prevents installation of ActiveX controls on endpoints, enforces memory protection techniques on endpoints, and prevents MSI-installers from running on endpoints. The Feature Control allows for those safeguards to be bypassed and in doing so renders the Trellix Application Control less effective.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

The Solidcore client Command Line Interface (CLI) must be in lockdown mode.
High Severity
<VulnDiscussion>By default, when an endpoint's Solidcore installation is managed by the ePO server, the CLI will automatically be in lockdown mode. This will ensure the endpoint receives all of its Solidcore configuration settings from the ePO server. The CLI can, however, be activated for troubleshooting efforts during which time the ePO settings will not be enforced. Leaving the CLI in an allowed status will prevent the endpoint from receiving changes from the ePO server for the Solidcore client.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

The organization-specific Rules policy must only include executable and dll files that are associated with applications as allowed by the organizations written policy.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>To ensure Solidcore clients are only configured to STIG and organization-specific settings, organization-specific ePO policies must be applied to all organization workstation endpoints. The Trellix Application Control installs with two Default Rules policies. The Trellix Default Rules policy includes the whitelist for commonly used applications to the platform. The Trellix Applications Default Rules policy include the whitelist for Trellix applications. Both of these policies are at the "My Organization" level of the System Tree and must be inherited by all branches of the System Tree. Organization-specific applications would be whitelisted with an organization-specific policy combined with the two Default policies into one effective policy.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

The Trellix Application Control Options Reputation setting must be configured to use the Trellix Global Threat Intelligence (Trellix GTI) option.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>If a Threat Intelligence Exchange (TIE) server is being used in the organization, reputation for files and certificates is fetched from the TIE server. The reputation values control execution at endpoints and are displayed on the Application Control pages on the Trellix ePO console. If the GTI is being used, reputation for files and certificates is fetched from the Trellix GTI. For both methods, the administrator can review the reputation values and make informed decisions for inventory items in the enterprise.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

The Trellix Application Control Options Reputation-Based Execution settings, if enabled, must be configured to allow Most Likely Trusted or Known Trusted only.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>When a file is executed on an endpoint, the Application Control performs multiple checks to determine whether to allow or ban the execution. Only files with a reputation of "Most Likely Trusted", "Known Trusted" or "Might be Trusted" are considered to be allowed. By configuring the setting to only "Most Likely Trusted" or "Known Trusted", the files with a reputation of "Might be Trusted" are blocked. While this may impact operationally in the beginning, after the inventories are vetted by the administrators, files with a "Might be Trusted" value may be recategorized in that organization.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

The Trellix Application Control Options policies Enforce feature control memory protection must be enabled.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>By default, the Trellix Application Control prevents installation of ActiveX controls on endpoints, enforces memory protection techniques on endpoints, and prevents MSI-installers from running on endpoints. The Feature Control allows for those safeguards to be bypassed and in doing so renders the Trellix Application Control less effective. Because ENS and HIPs have many more types of memory protection techniques than Trellix Application Control, memory protection must be explicitly disabled.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
The Trellix Application Control Options Inventory interval option must be configured to pull inventory from endpoints on a regular basis not to exceed seven days.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>When Trellix Application Control is deployed on a system, it creates a whitelist of all executable binaries and scripts present on the system. The whitelist contains all authorized files, and only files that are present in the whitelist are allowed to execute. An executable binary, script, or process that is not in the whitelist is said to be unauthorized and is prevented from running. Trellix Application Control uses a centralized repository of trusted applications and dynamic whitelisting to reduce manual maintenance effort. Running frequent Pull Inventory tasks ensures inventory information does not become stale. There must be the minimum interval between consecutive inventory pull runs (when the inventory information is fetched from the endpoints). By default, this value is seven days and is the recommended setting. Pulling at an interval of greater than seven days will allow for the inventory of endpoints to become stale.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
