Google Android 15 allowlist must be configured to not include applications with the following characteristics: - Backs up mobile device (MD) data to non-DOD cloud servers (including user and application access to cloud backup services); - Transmits MD diagnostic data to non-DOD servers; - Voice assistant application if available when MD is locked; - Voice dialing application if available when MD is locked; - Allows synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user; - Payment processing; - Allows unencrypted (or encrypted but not FIPS 140-2/140-3 validated) data sharing with other MDs or printers; - Backs up own data to a remote system; - Renders TV shows and movies.

Description
Requiring all authorized applications to be in an application allowlist prevents the execution of any applications (e.g., unauthorized, malicious) that are not part of the allowlist. Failure to configure an application allowlist properly could allow unauthorized and malicious applications to be downloaded, installed, and executed on the mobile device, causing a compromise of DOD data accessible by these applications. Applications with the listed characteristics have features that can cause the compromise of sensitive DOD data or have features with no known application in the DOD environment. Application note: The application allowlist, in addition to controlling the installation of applications on the MD, must control user access/execution of all core and preinstalled applications, or the MD must provide an alternate method of restricting user access/execution to core and preinstalled applications. Core application: Any application integrated into the OS by the OS or MD vendors. Preinstalled application: Additional noncore applications included in the OS build by the OS vendor, MD vendor, or wireless carrier. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #8b

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-267437r1134411_chk)

Review managed Google Android 15 device configuration settings to determine if the mobile device has an application allowlist configured and that the application allowlist does not include applications with the following characteristics: - Backs up MD data to non-DOD cloud servers (including user and application access to cloud backup services); - Transmits MD diagnostic data to non-DOD servers; - Voice assistant application (if available) when MD is locked; - Voice dialing application (if available) when MD is locked; - Allows synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user; - Payment processing; - Allows unencrypted (or encrypted but not FIPS 140-2/140-3 validated) data sharing with other MDs, display screens (screen mirroring), or printers; - Backs up own data to a remote system. - Renders TV shows and movies. This validation procedure is performed only on the EMM Administration Console. On the EMM console: 1. Review the list of selected Managed Google Play apps. 2. Review the details and privacy policy of each selected app to verify that the app does not include prohibited characteristics. If the EMM console device policy includes applications with unauthorized characteristics, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-71264r1134410_fix)

Configure the Google Android 15 device application allowlist to exclude applications with the following characteristics: - Backs up MD data to non-DOD cloud servers (including user and application access to cloud backup services); - Transmits MD diagnostic data to non-DOD servers; - Voice assistant application (if available) when MD is locked; - Voice dialing application (if available) when MD is locked; - Allows synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user; - Payment processing; - Allows unencrypted (or encrypted but not FIPS 140-2/140-3 validated) data sharing with other MDs, display screens (screen mirroring), or printers; - Backs up own data to a remote system; - Renders TV shows and movies. On the EMM console: 1. Go to the Android app catalog for managed Google Play. 2. Before selecting an app, review the app details and privacy policy to ensure the app does not include prohibited characteristics. Managed Google Play is always an allowlisted App Store.
