III - Administrative Sensitive

Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-APP-000211-WSR-000031

    Group
  • Apache web server application directories, libraries, and configuration files must only be accessible to privileged users.

    By separating Apache web server security functions from non-privileged users, roles can be developed that can then be used to administer the Apache web server. Forcing users to change from a non-pr...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000211-WSR-000129

    Group
  • The Apache web server must separate the hosted applications from hosted Apache web server management functionality.

    The separation of user functionality from web server management can be accomplished by moving management functions to a separate IP address or port. To further separate the management functions, se...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000220-WSR-000201

    Group
  • The Apache web server must invalidate session identifiers upon hosted application user logout or other session termination.

    Captured sessions can be reused in "replay" attacks. This requirement limits the ability of adversaries from capturing and continuing to employ previously valid session IDs. Session IDs are tokens...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000223-WSR-000011

    Group
  • Cookies exchanged between the Apache web server and client, such as session cookies, must have security settings that disallow cookie access outside the originating Apache web server and hosted application.

    Cookies are used to exchange data between the web server and the client. Cookies, such as a session cookie, may contain session information and user credentials used to maintain a persistent connec...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000224-WSR-000137

    Group
  • The Apache web server must generate a session ID long enough that it cannot be guessed through brute force.

    Generating a session identifier (ID) that is not easily guessed through brute force is essential to deter several types of session attacks. By knowing the session ID, an attacker can hijack a user ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000224-WSR-000138

    Group
  • The Apache web server must generate a session ID using as much of the character set as possible to reduce the risk of brute force.

    Generating a session identifier (ID) that is not easily guessed through brute force is essential to deter several types of session attacks. By knowing the session ID, an attacker can hijack a user ...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000225-WSR-000140

    Group
  • The Apache web server must be built to fail to a known safe state if system initialization fails, shutdown fails, or aborts fail.

    Determining a safe state for failure and weighing that against a potential denial of service for users depends on what type of application the web server is hosting. For an application presenting p...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000246-WSR-000149

    Group
  • The Apache web server must be tuned to handle the operational requirements of the hosted application.

    A denial of service (DoS) can occur when the Apache web server is so overwhelmed that it can no longer respond to additional requests. A web server not properly tuned may become overwhelmed and cau...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000266-WSR-000159

    Group
  • Warning and error messages displayed to clients must be modified to minimize the identity of the Apache web server, patches, loaded modules, and directory paths.

    Information needed by an attacker to begin looking for possible vulnerabilities in a web server includes any information about the web server, backend systems being accessed, and plug-ins or module...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000266-WSR-000160

    Group
  • Debugging and trace information used to diagnose the Apache web server must be disabled.

    Information needed by an attacker to begin looking for possible vulnerabilities in a web server includes any information about the web server and plug-ins or modules being used. When debugging or ...

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.
