Assessment Title
Rule Text
ColdFusion must control remote access to the Administrator Console.
Description
Discussion Text
Application servers provide remote access capability and must be able to enforce remote access policy requirements or work in conjunction with enterprise tools designed to enforce policy requirements. Automated monitoring and control of remote access sessions allows organizations to detect cyber attacks and also ensure ongoing compliance with remote access policies by logging connection activities of remote users.
By default, localhost and all IP addresses can access the Administrator Console. Depending on the authentication method (i.e. single password, separate user name and password per user, or no authentication needed), any user from any network is capable of accessing the console and making changes to the server configuration relying only on the authentication method configured for the installation. By limiting the IP addresses that can connect, the administration console can be hosted to a management network and only accessed via that network, further reducing the exposure of the Administrator Console.
