Assessment Title
Rule Text
Operators of the A10 Networks ADC must not use the Telnet client built into the device.
Description
Discussion Text
If unsecured protocols (lacking cryptographic mechanisms) are used for sessions, the contents of those sessions will be susceptible to manipulation, potentially allowing alteration and hijacking of maintenance sessions. Telnet is an unsecure protocol; use SSH instead.
Note: This requirement does not refer to the device accepting incoming Telnet connections (server), but instead being used as an originator of Telnet requests (client). This is the exec level command "telnet".
