  • SRG-APP-000170

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network device must require that when a password is changed, the characters are changed in at least eight of the positions within the password.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;: If the application allows the user to consecutively reuse extensive portions of passwords, this increases the chances of p...

  • SRG-APP-000171

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network device must only store cryptographic representations of passwords.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Passwords need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords. If passwords are...

    Group
  • The network device must transmit only encrypted representations of passwords.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Passwords need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords. If passwords are...

  • SRG-APP-000178

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network device must obscure feedback of authentication information during the authentication process to protect the information from possible exploitation/use by unauthorized individuals.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;To prevent the compromise of authentication information such as passwords during the authentication process, the feedback fro...

  • SRG-APP-000179

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network device must use FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms for authentication to a cryptographic module.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not validated and therefore cannot be ...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000186

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network device must terminate all sessions and network connections when nonlocal device maintenance is completed.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If a device management session or connection remains open after management is completed, it may be hijacked by an attacker an...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000190

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network device must terminate all network connections associated with a device management session at the end of the session, or the session must be terminated after five minutes of inactivity except to fulfill documented and validated mission requirements.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take c...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000220

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network device must invalidate session identifiers upon administrator logout or other session termination.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Captured sessions can be reused in "replay" attacks. This requirement limits the ability of adversaries to capture and to con...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000223

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network device must recognize only system-generated session identifiers.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Network device management web interfaces utilize sessions and session identifiers to control management interface behavior an...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000224

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network device must generate unique session identifiers using a FIPS 140-2 approved random number generator.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Sequentially generated session IDs can be easily guessed by an attacker. Employing the concept of randomness in the generatio...

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
