Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
EDB Postgres Advanced Server software modules, to include stored procedures, functions, and triggers must be monitored to discover unauthorized changes.
If the system were to allow any user to make changes to software libraries, then those changes might be implemented without undergoing the appropriate testing and approvals that are part of a robus...Rule Medium Severity -
The EDB Postgres Advanced Server software installation account must be restricted to authorized users.
When dealing with change control issues, it should be noted any changes to the hardware, software, and/or firmware components of the information system and/or application can have significant effec...Rule High Severity -
Database objects must be owned by database/EDB Postgres Advanced Server principals authorized for ownership.
Database objects include but are not limited to tables, indexes, storage, stored procedures, functions, triggers, and links to software external to the EDB Postgres Advanced Server, etc. Within th...Rule Medium Severity -
The role(s)/group(s) used to modify database structure and logic modules must be restricted to authorized users.
Database structures include but are not necessarily limited to tables, indexes, storage, etc. Logic modules are objects such as stored procedures, functions, triggers, and links to software extern...Rule Medium Severity -
Unused database components which are integrated in the EDB Postgres Advanced Server and cannot be uninstalled must be disabled.
Information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services, provided by default, may not be necessary to support essential organizatio...Rule Medium Severity -
Access to external executables must be disabled or restricted.
Information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services, provided by default, may not be necessary to support essential organizatio...Rule Medium Severity -
The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must uniquely identify and authenticate organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users).
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Organizational user...Rule Medium Severity -
If passwords are used for authentication, the EDB Postgres Advanced Server must transmit only encrypted representations of passwords.
The DOD standard for authentication is DOD-approved PKI certificates. Authentication based on User ID and Password may be used only when it is not possible to employ a PKI certificate, and require...Rule High Severity -
The EDB Postgres Advanced Server, when utilizing PKI-based authentication, must validate certificates by performing RFC 5280-compliant certification path validation.
The DOD standard for authentication is DOD-approved PKI certificates. A certificate's certification path is the path from the end entity certificate to a trusted root certification authority (CA)....Rule Medium Severity -
When using command-line tools such as psql, users must use a logon method that does not expose the password.
To prevent the compromise of authentication information, such as passwords and PINs, during the authentication process, the feedback from the information system must not provide any information tha...Rule High Severity
