All Automation Controller NGINX web servers must protect system resources and privileged operations from hosted applications.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Automation Controller NGINX web servers may host too many applications. Each application will need certain system resources and privileged operations to operate correctly. The Automation Controller NGINX web servers must be configured to contain and control the applications and protect the system resources and privileged operations from those not needed by the application for operation. Not limiting the application will exacerbate the potential harm a compromised application could cause to a system.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
