Description
IIS 10.0 will either allow or deny script execution based on file extension. The ability to control script execution is controlled through two features with IIS 10.0, Request Filtering and Handler Mappings. For Request Filtering, the ISSO must document and approve all allowable file extensions the website allows (white list) and denies (black list) by the website. The white list and black list will be compared to the Request Filtering in IIS 10.0. Request Filtering at the site level take precedence over Request Filtering at the server level.

Who does this work

5 NICE work roles and 5 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.

Note: If the server being reviewed is hosting SharePoint, this is Not Applicable. For Request Filtering, the ISSO must document and approve all allowable scripts the website allows (white list) and denies (black list). The white list and black list will be compared to the Request Filtering in IIS 10.0. Request Filtering at the site level take precedence over Request Filtering at the server level. Follow the procedures below for each site hosted on the IIS 10.0 web server: Open the IIS 10.0 Manager. Click the site name to review. Double-click Request Filtering->File Name Extensions Tab. If any script file extensions from the black list are not denied, this is a finding.
