Title

Apple visionOS 2 must implement the management setting: use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for Exchange ActiveSync. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Exchange email messages are a form of data in transit and thus are vulnerable to eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. SSL, also referred to as Transport Layer Security (TLS), provides encryption and authentication services that mitigate the risk of breach. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #47

Check Content

Review configuration settings to confirm "Use SSL" for the Exchange account is enabled for incoming mail. This check procedure is performed on both the Apple visionOS management tool and the Vision Pro. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the Apple visionOS management tool, verify "Use SSL for incoming mail" is checked under the Exchange payload. On the Vision Pro: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General". 3. Tap "VPN & Device Management". 4. Tap the configuration profile from the Apple visionOS management tool containing the Exchange policy. 5. Tap "Mail". 6. Tap the name of the Exchange account. 7. Verify "SSL for incoming mail" is set to "Yes". If "Use SSL for incoming mail" is unchecked in the Apple visionOS management tool or the Exchange policy on the Vision Pro has "SSL for incoming mail" set to "No", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Install a configuration profile to use SSL for Exchange ActiveSync incoming mail.
