Oracle WebLogic must establish a trusted communications path between the user and organization-defined security functions within the information system.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Without a trusted communication path, the application server is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack. Application server user interfaces are used for management of the application server so the communications path between client and server must be trusted or management of the server may be compromised.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
