Discussion

Communication to Prisma Cloud Compute Console's User Interface (UI) and API is protected by TLS v1.2+ (HTTPS). By default, only HTTPS communication to the Console's UI and API endpoints is enabled. Prisma Cloud Compute TCP port usage is configurable. Default configuration: TCP 8081 Console user interface and API (HTTP) - disabled by default. TCP 8083 Console user interface and API TLS v1.2 (HTTPS) TCP 8084 Console-to-Defender communication via mutual TLS v1.2 WebSocket session. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000014-CTR-000040, SRG-APP-000142-CTR-000325, SRG-APP-000185-CTR-000490, SRG-APP-000645-CTR-001410

Check Content

For Kubernetes deployment:

Query the ports used by the twistlock-console service:
$ kubectl describe svc twistlock-console -n twistlock

If the TargetPort management-port-http exists and has a port assignment, this is a finding.
Port: management-port-http  8081/TCP
TargetPort: 8081/TCP

For Docker deployment:

Determine the name of the Console container:
docker ps|grep console

For example, the Console container is: ad8b41a2fec9 
   twistlock/private:console_22_01_840

Inspect the container's PortBindings:
docker inspect ad8b41a2fec9|grep PortBindings -A 20

If port 8081 is listed, this is a finding.

Fix Text

For Kubernetes deployment:

Edit the deployment.apps/twistlock-console.

Find the - name: MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTP setting

Remove the value assignment (e.g., 8081):
        - name: MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTP
          value: "8081" 

Save and exit the editing session. The Console will restart automatically.

For Docker deployment:

Modify the twistlock.cfg located in the extracted release tar directory.

Remove the value assignment for the MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTP= variable.

Redeploy the Console using the twistlock.sh script located in the extracted release tar directory.

$ sudo ./twisltock.sh -sy onebox
