Samsung Android must be configured to disable all Bluetooth profiles except for Headset Profile (HSP), Hands-Free Profile (HFP), Serial Port Profile (SPP), Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP), Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP), and Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP).

Description
Some Bluetooth profiles provide the capability for remote transfer of sensitive DOD data without encryption or otherwise do not meet DOD IT security policies and therefore, must be disabled. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1/BLUETOOTH BT-8

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-276536r1139783_chk)

Review the Samsung documentation and inspect the configuration to verify the Samsung Android devices are paired only with devices that support HSP, HFP, SPP, A2DP, AVRCP, and PBAP Bluetooth profiles. This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool and the Samsung Android device. On the management tool, in the device restrictions section, verify "Bluetooth" is set to the AO-approved selection: "Allow" if the AO has approved the use of Bluetooth or "Disallow" if the AO has not approved its use. On the Samsung Android device: 1. Open Settings >> Connections >> Bluetooth. 2. Verify all listed paired Bluetooth devices use only authorized Bluetooth profiles. If on the management tool "Bluetooth" is not set to the AO-approved value, or the Samsung Android device is paired with a device that uses unauthorized Bluetooth profiles, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-80596r1139782_fix)

Configure the Samsung Android devices to disable Bluetooth, or if the AO has approved the use of Bluetooth (for example, for hands-free use), train users to only pair devices that support HSP, HFP, SPP, A2DP, AVRCP, and PBAP profiles. On the management tool, in the device restrictions section, set "Bluetooth" to the AO-approved selection: "Allow" if the AO has approved the use of Bluetooth or "Disallow" if the AO has not approved its use. The user training requirement is satisfied in requirement KNOX-16-009400. If a COBO deployment requires the use of specific Bluetooth profiles, Knox Platform for Enterprise (KPE) can be used to allow them in a STIG-approved configuration. In this case, do not configure this policy, and instead replace with KPE policy (innately by the management tool or via Knox Service Plugin [KSP]) "Add Bluetooth UUIDs To White List " with values "HSP_UUID, HFP_UUID, SPP_UUID, A2DP_ADVAUDIODIST_UUID, AVRCP_CONTROLLER_UUID, AVRCP_TARGET_UUID" and default blacklist as "enable".
