SRG-NET-000251-ALG-000131
Group -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance providing content filtering must automatically update malicious code protection mechanisms.
The malicious software detection functionality on network elements needs to be constantly updated to identify new threats as they are discovered. All malicious software detection functions must co...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000384-ALG-000136
Group -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance providing content filtering must detect use of network services that have not been authorized or approved by the information system security manager (ISSM) and information system security officer (ISSO), at a minimum.
Unauthorized or unapproved network services lack organizational verification or validation, and therefore may be unreliable or serve as malicious rogues for valid services. Examples of network ser...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000385-ALG-000137
Group -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance providing content filtering must generate a log record when unauthorized network services are detected.
Unauthorized or unapproved network services lack organizational verification or validation, and therefore may be unreliable or serve as malicious rogues for valid services. Examples of network ser...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000233-ALG-000115
Group -
When the Access Profile Type is LTM+APM and it is not using any connectivity resources (such as Network Access, Portal Access, etc.) in the VPE, the F5 BIG-IP appliance must be configured to enable the HTTP Only flag.
To guard against cookie hijacking, only the BIG-IP APM controller and client must be able to view the full session ID. Setting the APM HTTP Only flag ensures that a third party will not have access...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000233-ALG-000115
Group -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance must be configured to enable the secure cookie flag.
To guard against cookie hijacking, only the BIG-IP APM controller and client must be able to view the full session ID. Session cookies are set only after the SSL handshake between the BIG-IP APM sy...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000233-ALG-000115
Group -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance must be configured to disable the persistent cookie flag.
For BIG-IP APM deployments with connectivity resources (such as Network Access, Portal Access, etc.), BIG-IP APM cookies cannot be set as Persistent. This is by design since cookies are stored loca...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000164-ALG-000100
Group -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance must configure certificate path validation to ensure revoked user credentials are prohibited from establishing an allowed session.
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...Rule High Severity -
SRG-NET-000230-ALG-000113
Group -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance must not use the On-demand Cert Auth VPE agent as part of the APM Policy Profiles.
By requiring mutual authentication before any communication, it becomes significantly challenging for attackers to impersonate a client or server and exploit vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the encry...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000230-ALG-000113
Group -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance must be configured to restrict a consistent inbound IP for the entire management session.
This security measure helps limit the effects of denial-of-service attacks by employing antisession hijacking security safeguards. Session hijacking, also called cookie hijacking, is the exploitati...Rule Medium Severity
