Check: CISR-ND-000024
Cisco IOS XE Release 3 NDM STIG:
CISR-ND-000024
(in versions v1 r5 through v1 r4)
Title
The Cisco IOS XE router must allow only the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) to select which auditable events are to be audited. (Cat III 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.
Check Content
Verify that the Cisco IOS XE router is configured to only allow individuals in the proper role to select audited events. The configuration should look similar to the example below: parser view Senior-Admin secret 5 $1$hW3m$PE.3zCJYeSrvYflFey71R. commands exec include all configure commands exec include all show parser view Auditor secret 5 $1$qb3F$SrdJW2oyyDzq1L94I7eED. commands exec include show logging If this is not configured, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the Cisco IOS XE router using the following commands: parser view Senior-Admin secret 5 $1$hW3m$PE.3zCJYeSrvYflFey71R. commands exec include all configure commands exec include all show parser view Auditor secret 5 $1$qb3F$SrdJW2oyyDzq1L94I7eED. commands exec include show logging
