Access to the Redis Enterprise control plane must be restricted.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>If administrative functionality or information regarding DBMS management is presented on an interface available for users, information on DBMS settings may be inadvertently made available to the user. The Redis administrative control plane helps facilitate configuration and application integrations with the database. Exposing the control plane application to any network interface that is available to non-administrative personnel leaves the server vulnerable to attempts to access the management application. To mitigate this risk, the management application must only be run on network interfaces tied to a dedicated management network or firewall rule to limit access to dedicated trusted machines. Redis does not provide a configuration setting that can be used to restrict access to the administrative control plane, so firewall controls must be applied.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Remediation - Manual Procedure
Configure a management network defined through physical or logical means to achieve network separation. Update system documentation (SSP) and identify the documented management networks as well as the documented client networks.
Configure the administrative control plane to only be accessible via the management network.
Alternatively, ensure a firewall rule is enabled on the network layer and the administrative control plane is only available through trusted and approved IPs.
