Discussion

Developer modes expose features of the Zebra Android device 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

Review Zebra Android device configuration settings to determine whether a developer mode is enabled.

This validation procedure is performed on both the EMM Administration Console and the Android 11 device. 

On the EMM Console:
1. Open "Set user restrictions" section.
2. Verify that "Disallow debugging features" is toggled to "On".
3. Open "Set user restrictions on parent" section.
4. Verify that "Disallow debugging features" is toggled to "On".

On the Android 11 device, do the following:

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 Android 11 device, the device policy is not set to disable developer mode, this is a finding.
