The WebSphere Application Server must remove all export ciphers to protect the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted information.

Description
Export grade encryption suites are not strong and do not meet DoD requirements. The encryption for the session becomes easy for the attacker to break. Do not use export grade encryption. Information on disabling export ciphers can be found in Knowledge Center at this link: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS7K4U_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.ihs.doc/ihs/rihs_ciphspec.html

Who does this work

8 NICE work roles and 7 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-255888r961632_chk)

From the administrative console, navigate to Security >> SSL certificate and key management >> SSL configurations >> [Name] >> for each SSL Configuration Select "Quality of protection (QoP) settings". Under "Cipher suite" settings, if any of the ciphers contained in the "Selected ciphers" box" contain "EXPORT" in their name, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-59504r876954_fix)

From the administrative console, navigate to Security >> SSL certificate and key management >> SSL configurations >> [Name] >> for each SSL configuration Select "Quality of protection (QoP) settings" under "Cipher suite" settings. Identify any ciphers that include "EXPORT" in their name. Remove the cipher by selecting the cipher. Click "Remove" button. Click "OK". Recycle the DMGR and sync the JVMs.
