The CA API Gateway that provides intermediary services for FTP must inspect inbound and outbound FTP communications traffic for protocol compliance and protocol anomalies.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Application protocol anomaly detection examines application layer protocols such as FTP to identify attacks based on observed deviations in the normal RFC behavior of a protocol or service. This type of monitoring allows for the detection of known and unknown exploits, which exploit weaknesses of commonly used protocols. Since protocol anomaly analysis examines the application payload for patterns or anomalies, an FTP proxy must be included in the ALG. This ALG will be configured to inspect inbound and outbound FTP communications traffic to detect protocol anomalies such as malformed message and command insertion attacks. The CA API Gateway must be configured to inspect incoming and outgoing FTP traffic for protocol compliance and anomalies such as limiting message size, protecting against code injection cross-site request forgery, SQL attacks, and XML and JSON document structure validation; validate content; and/or use third-party antivirus scanning. Also, regular expressions can be used to detect any known attack patterns within policies.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
