Performance Charts must have Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIMEs) that invoke operating system shell programs disabled.

Description
MIME mappings tell Performance Charts what type of program various file types and extensions are and what external utilities or programs are needed to execute the file type. By ensuring various shell script MIME types are not included in "web.xml", the server is protected against malicious users tricking the server into executing shell command files.

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-256622r888357_chk)

At the command prompt, run the following command: # grep -En '(x-csh<)|(x-sh<)|(x-shar<)|(x-ksh<)' /usr/lib/vmware-perfcharts/tc-instance/conf/web.xml If the command produces any output, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-60240r888356_fix)

Navigate to and open: /usr/lib/vmware-perfcharts/tc-instance/conf/web.xml Remove any and all of the following nodes lines: <mime-type>application/x-csh</mime-type> <mime-type>application/x-shar</mime-type> <mime-type>application/x-sh</mime-type> <mime-type>application/x-ksh</mime-type> Restart the service with the following command: # vmon-cli --restart perfcharts Note: Delete the entire mime-mapping node for the target mime-type. Example: <mime-mapping> <extension>sh</extension> <mime-type>application/x-sh</mime-type> </mime-mapping>
