Description
SMBv1 is a legacy protocol that uses the MD5 algorithm as part of SMB. MD5 is known to be vulnerable to a number of attacks such as collision and preimage attacks and is not FIPS compliant.

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.

Check Text (C-205682r958478_chk)

Different methods are available to disable SMBv1 on Windows Server 2019. This is the preferred method; however, if WN19-00-000390 and WN19-00-000400 are configured, this is NA. Open "Windows PowerShell" with elevated privileges (run as administrator). Enter "Get-WindowsFeature -Name FS-SMB1". If "Installed State" is "Installed", this is a finding. An Installed State of "Available" or "Removed" is not a finding.

Fix Text (F-5947r354965_fix)

Uninstall the SMBv1 protocol. Open "Windows PowerShell" with elevated privileges (run as administrator). Enter "Uninstall-WindowsFeature -Name FS-SMB1 -Restart". (Omit the Restart parameter if an immediate restart of the system cannot be done.) Alternately: Start "Server Manager". Select the server with the feature. Scroll down to "ROLES AND FEATURES" in the right pane. Select "Remove Roles and Features" from the drop-down "TASKS" list. Select the appropriate server on the "Server Selection" page and click "Next". Deselect "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support" on the "Features" page. Click "Next" and "Remove" as prompted.
