V-35718 SRG-APP-000283-MAPP-NA SV-47005r1_rule Medium
Description
Unusual/unauthorized activities or conditions include internal traffic indicating the presence of malicious code within an information system or propagating among system components, the unauthorized export of information, or signaling to an external information system. Evidence of malicious code is used to identify potentially compromised information systems or information system components. Examples of applications that provide monitoring capability for unusual/unauthorized activities include, but are not limited to, Intrusion Detection, Anti-Virus and Malware etc. Rationale for non-applicability: The requirement for application sandboxing precludes applications from serving as a security boundary for other applications. If an application were granted the ability to perform this function, the mobile application could perform a man-in-the-middle attack on other applications running on the device.
