Google Android 14 COPE STIG:
GOOG-14-007400
(in version v1 r1)
Title
Google Android 14 must be configured to disable developer modes. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Developer modes expose features of the mobile operating system (MOS) that are not available during standard operation. An adversary may leverage a vulnerability inherent in a developer mode to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of DOD sensitive information. Disabling developer modes mitigates this risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #26
Check Content
Review managed Google Android 14 device configuration settings to determine whether a developer mode is enabled. This validation procedure is performed on both the EMM Administration Console and the managed Google Android 14 device. On the EMM console: COBO: 1. Open "Set user restrictions". 2. Verify that "Disallow debugging features" is toggled to "ON". COPE: 1. Open "Set user restrictions". 2. Verify that "Disallow debugging features" is toggled to "ON". 3. Open "Set user restrictions on parent". 4. Verify that "Disallow debugging features" is toggled to "ON". ____________________________ On the managed Google Android 14 device: COBO and COPE: 1. Go to Settings >> System. 2. Ensure "Developer Options" is not listed. 3. Go to Settings >> About Phone. 4. Tap on the Build Number to try to enable Developer Options and validate that action is blocked. If the EMM console device policy is not set to disable developer mode or on the managed Google Android 14 device, the device policy is not set to disable developer mode, this is a finding.
