Group -
The Apache web server must generate, at a minimum, log records for system startup and shutdown, system access, and system authentication events.
Log records can be generated from various components within the Apache web server (e.g., httpd, plug-ins to external backends, etc.). From a web server perspective, certain specific Apache web serv...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000098-WSR-000060
Group -
An Apache web server, behind a load balancer or proxy server, must produce log records containing the client IP information as the source and destination and not the load balancer or proxy IP information with each event.
Apache web server logging capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Without sufficient and accurate information, a correct replay of the events cannot be determined. Ascertaining the ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000108-WSR-000166
Group -
The Apache web server must use a logging mechanism that is configured to alert the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) and System Administrator (SA) in the event of a processing failure.
Reviewing log data allows an investigator to recreate the path of an attacker and to capture forensic data for later use. Log data is also essential to SAs in their daily administrative duties on t...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000118-WSR-000068
Group -
The Apache web server log files must only be accessible by privileged users.

Group -
The log data and records from the Apache web server must be backed up onto a different system or media.
Protection of log data includes ensuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Backing up log records to an unrelated system or onto separate media than the system the web server is actuall...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000131-WSR-000073
Group -
Expansion modules must be fully reviewed, tested, and signed before they can exist on a production Apache web server.
In the case of a production web server, areas for content development and testing will not exist, as this type of content is only permissible on a development website. The process of developing on ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000141-WSR-000015
Group -
The Apache web server must not perform user management for hosted applications.

SRG-APP-000141-WSR-000075
Group -
The Apache web server must only contain services and functions necessary for operation.
A web server can provide many features, services, and processes. Some of these may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production DoD system. The web server must provide the capabili...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000141-WSR-000076
Group -
The Apache web server must not be a proxy server.
A web server should be primarily a web server or a proxy server but not both, for the same reasons that other multiuse servers are not recommended. Scanning for web servers that will also proxy req...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000141-WSR-000077
Group -
The Apache web server must provide install options to exclude the installation of documentation, sample code, example applications, and tutorials.
Apache web server documentation, sample code, example applications, and tutorials may be an exploitable threat to an Apache web server because this type of code has not been evaluated and approved....Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000141-WSR-000081
Group -
The Apache web server must have resource mappings set to disable the serving of certain file types.
Resource mapping is the process of tying a particular file type to a process in the web server that can serve that type of file to a requesting client and to identify which file types are not to be...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000141-WSR-000082
Group -
The Apache web server must allow the mappings to unused and vulnerable scripts to be removed.
Scripts allow server-side processing on behalf of the hosted application user or as processes needed in the implementation of hosted applications. Removing scripts not needed for application operat...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000141-WSR-000085
Group -
The Apache web server must have Web Distributed Authoring (WebDAV) disabled.

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

SRG-APP-000220-WSR-000201
Group -
The Apache web server must invalidate session identifiers upon hosted application user logout or other session termination.
