CounterACT must disable all unnecessary and/or nonsecure plugins.
High Severity
<VulnDiscussion>CounterACT is 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 organizational operations. Additionally, it is sometimes convenient to provide multiple services from a single component (e.g., email and web services); however, doing so increases risk over limiting the services provided by any one component. If the 802.1x plugin is installed and there are no wireless APs or controllers directly managed by CounterACT, the wireless plugin should be disabled. The wireless plugin enabled with no configuration will also produce a finding.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
