When connecting with endpoints, Forescout must validate certificates used for Transport Layer Security (TLS) functions by performing RFC 5280-compliant certification path validation. This is required for compliance with C2C Step 1.
High Severity
<VulnDiscussion>A certificate's certification path is the path from the end entity certificate to a trusted root certification authority (CA). Certification path validation is necessary for a relying party to make an informed decision regarding acceptance of an end entity certificate. NAC must be configured for only Certificate Signing. The NAC must interact with TLS-compliant lookups and verification in exchange with endpoints in Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) transactions where TLS is supported within the EAP type. Certification path validation includes checks such as certificate issuer trust, time validity, and revocation status for each certificate in the certification path. Revocation status information for CA and subject certificates in a certification path is commonly provided via certificate revocation lists (CRLs) or online certificate status protocol (OCSP) responses.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
