The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to terminate all sessions and network connections when nonlocal device maintenance is completed.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>If a device management session or connection remains open after management is completed, it may be hijacked by an attacker and used to compromise or damage the network device. Nonlocal device management and diagnostic activities are conducted by individuals communicating through an external network (e.g., the internet) or an internal network. Logging out of NetProfiler ends the session with NetProfiler. It does not close sessions with the SAML identity provider involved with the initial authentication process or those for any other Riverbed product involved in cross-product drill downs. Therefore, it is recommended to close all browser tabs and close the browser when finished accessing NetProfiler authentication.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
