Discussion

A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be vulnerable to a replay attack. An authentication process resists replay attacks if it is impractical to achieve a successful authentication by recording and replaying a previous authentication message. Techniques used to address this include protocols using nonces (e.g., numbers generated for a specific one-time use) or challenges (e.g., TLS, WS_Security). Additional techniques include time-synchronous or challenge-response one-time authenticators.

Verify only TLS management services are enabled.

1. Log on to Web Management Console.
2. Click Configuration >> Services >> Management Services.
3. Verify "HTTP-Console" is not enabled and that "HTTPS-Console" is enabled.

If Symantec ProxySG does not implement HTTPS-console, this is a finding.
