V-235985

Discussion

If communications sessions remain open for extended periods of time even when unused, there is the potential for an adversary to hijack the session and use it to gain access to the device or networks to which it is attached. Terminating sessions after a logout event or after a certain period of inactivity is a method for mitigating the risk of this vulnerability. When a user management session becomes idle, or when a user logs out of the management interface, the application server must terminate the session.

1. Access AC 
2. From 'Domain Structure', select 'Deployments'
3. Sort 'Deployments' table by 'Type' by click the column header
4. Select an 'Enterprise Application' or 'Web Application' to check the session timeout setting
5. Select 'Configuration' tab -> 'Application' tab for deployments of 'Enterprise Application' type
Select 'Configuration' tab -> 'General' tab for deployments of 'Web Application' type
6. Ensure 'Session Timeout' field value is set to organization- or policy-defined session idle time limit

If the 'Session Timeout' field value is not set to an organization- or policy-defined session idle time limit, this is a finding.
