AADC-NM-000023
(in version v1 r1)
Title
The A10 Networks ADC must allow only the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) Root, Read Write, or Read Only privileges. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent the auditing of critical events. Misconfigured audits may degrade the system's performance by overwhelming the audit log. Misconfigured audits may also make it more difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Administrators with Root, Read Write, or Read Only privileges can view the audit and system logs.
Check Content
Review the device configuration. Enter the following command to view detailed information about the administrative accounts: show admin detail The output of this command will show the Access type, Privilege level, and GUI role, among other parameters. If persons other than the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) have Root, Read Write, or Read Only privileges, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Do not configure accounts with Root, Read Write, or Read Only privileges for anyone other than the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM).
