Description
VMware ships the Security Token Service on the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) with one webapp, in "ROOT.war". Any other ".war" file is potentially malicious and must be removed. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000131-WSR-000073, SRG-APP-000141-WSR-000075

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-256753r889229_chk)

At the command prompt, run the following command: # ls /usr/lib/vmware-sso/vmware-sts/webapps/*.war Expected result: /usr/lib/vmware-sso/vmware-sts/webapps/ROOT.war If the result of this command does not match the expected result, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-60371r889228_fix)

For each unexpected file returned in the check, run the following command: # rm /usr/lib/vmware-sso/vmware-sts/webapps/<NAME>.war Restart the service with the following command: # vmon-cli --restart sts
