CAS policy is .NET runtime version-specific. In .NET Framework version 4, CAS policy is disabled by default however; it can be re-enabled by using the NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy setting on a per application basis. When invoking the NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy setting in .NET 4, earlier versions of the .NET Framework CAS policy will become active therefore previous .NET STIG guidance that applies to the reactivated versions must also be applied. Failure to apply applicable versions of STIG guidance can result in the loss of system confidentiality, integrity or availability. |
