Google Android 13 must prohibit DOD VPN profiles in the Personal Profile.
If DOD VPN profiles are configured in the Personal Profile DOD sensitive data world be at risk of compromise and the DOD network could be at risk of being attacked by malware installed on the devic...Rule Low Severity -
Google Android 13 must be configured to enforce a minimum password length of six characters and not allow passwords that include more than four repeating or sequential characters.
Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. The ability to crack a password is a function of how many attempts an adversary is p...Rule Medium Severity -
Google Android 13 must be configured to lock the display after 15 minutes (or less) of inactivity.
The screen lock timeout must be set to a value that helps protect the device from unauthorized access. Having a too-long timeout would increase the window of opportunity for adversaries who gain ph...Rule Medium Severity -
Google Android 13 must be configured to enforce an application installation policy by specifying an application allowlist that restricts applications by the following characteristics: [selection: list of digital signatures, cryptographic hash values, names, application version].
The application allowlist, in addition to controlling the installation of applications on the MD, must control user access/execution of all core and preinstalled applications, or the MD must provid...Rule Medium Severity -
Google Android 13 allowlist must be configured to not include applications with the following characteristics (work profile only): 1. Back up mobile device (MD) data to non-DOD cloud servers (including user and application access to cloud backup services); 2. Transmit MD diagnostic data to non-DOD servers; 3. Voice assistant application if available when MD is locked; 4. Voice dialing application if available when MD is locked; 5. Allows synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user; and 6. Allows unencrypted (or encrypted but not FIPS 140-2 validated) data sharing with other MDs or printers.
Requiring all authorized applications to be in an application allowlist prevents the execution of any applications (e.g., unauthorized, malicious) that are not part of the allowlist. Failure to con...Rule Medium Severity -
Google Android 13 must be configured to not allow backup of all work profile applications to remote systems.
Backups to remote systems (including cloud backup) can leave data vulnerable to breach on the external systems, which often offer less protection than the mobile operating system (MOS). Where the r...Rule Medium Severity -
Google Android 13 must be configured to disable exceptions to the access control policy that prevent [selection: application processes, groups of application processes] from accessing [selection: all, private] data stored by other [selection: application processes, groups of application processes].
App data sharing gives apps the ability to access the data of other apps for enhanced user functionality. However, sharing also poses a significant risk that unauthorized users or apps will obtain ...Rule Medium Severity -
The Google Android 13 work profile must be configured to enforce the system application disable list (work profile only).
The system application disables list controls user access to/execution of all core and preinstalled applications. Core application: Any application integrated into Google Android 13 by Google. ...Rule Medium Severity -
