The Microsoft SCOM administration console must only be installed on Management Servers and hardened Privileged Access Workstations.
Low Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The Microsoft SCOM management servers are considered high value IT resources where compromise would cause a significant impact to the organization. The Operations Manager console contains APIs that an attacker can use to decrypt Run As accounts or install malicious management packs. If a SCOM console sits on a Tier 2 device, an attacker could use the administrator's alternate credentials to exploit SCOM. A Privileged Admin Workstation (PAW) device provides configuration and installation requirements for dedicated Windows workstations used exclusively for remote administrative management of designated high-value IT resources.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
