| Description | ||||
| Developer modes expose features of the MOS that are not available during standard operation. An adversary may leverage a vulnerability inherent in a developer mode to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of DOD sensitive information. Disabling developer modes mitigates this risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #26 | ||||

Check Text (C-255146r958478_chk)
Review the configure to determine if the Samsung Android devices are disabling developer modes.
This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool and the Samsung Android device.
On the management tool, in the device restrictions, verify that "Debugging Features" is set to "Disallow".
On the Samsung Android device:
1. Open Settings >> About phone >> Software information.
2. Tap on the Build Number to try to enable Developer Options and validate that action is blocked.
If on the management tool "Debugging Features" is not set to "Disallow" or on the Samsung Android device "Developer options" action is not blocked, this is a finding.
