Check: KNOX-12-110180
Samsung Android 12 with Knox 3.x COBO STIG:
KNOX-12-110180
(in versions v1 r2 through v1 r1)
Title
Samsung Android must have the DoD root and intermediate PKI certificates installed. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
DoD root and intermediate PKI certificates are used to verify the authenticity of PKI certificates of users and web services. If the root and intermediate certificates are not available, an adversary could falsely sign a certificate in such a way that it could not be detected. Providing access to the DoD root and intermediate PKI certificates greatly diminishes the risk of this attack. SFR ID: FMT_MOF_EXT.1.2 #47
Check Content
Review the configuration to determine if the Samsung Android devices have the DoD root and intermediate PKI certificates installed. This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool and the Samsung Android device. The current DoD root and intermediate PKI certificates may be obtained in self-extracting zip files at https://cyber.mil/pki-pke (for NIPRNet). On the management tool, in the device policy management, verify that the DoD root and intermediate PKI certificates are installed. On the Samsung Android device: 1. Open Settings >> Biometrics and security >> Other security settings >> View security certificates. 2. In the User tab, verify that the DoD root and intermediate PKI certificates are listed in the Device. If on the management tool the DoD root and intermediate PKI certificates are not listed in the Device, or on the Samsung Android device the DoD root and intermediate PKI certificates are not listed in the Device, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Install the DoD root and intermediate PKI certificates into the Samsung Android devices. The current DoD root and intermediate PKI certificates may be obtained in self-extracting zip files at https://cyber.mil/pki-pke (for NIPRNet). On the management tool, in the device policy management, install the DoD root and intermediate PKI certificates.
