The DataPower Gateway must not use 0.0.0.0 as the management IP address.

Rule version WSDP-NM-000143 · STIG v1 · 2017-10-05

Discussion

If 0.0.0.0 as the management IP address, the DataPower appliance will listen on all configured interfaces for management traffic. This can allow an attacker to gain privileged-level access from an untrusted network.

Check

Using an administrator account, log on to the default domain of the appliance.

Navigate to Network >> Management >> Web Management Service.

View the Local Address field; if the value is “0.0.0.0”, this is a finding.

Fix

To configure the DataPower appliance for web management:

Using an administrator account, log on to the default domain of the appliance.

On the Configure Web Management Service screen, complete the required information.

Set the Administrative state to “enabled”.

For the Local Address, use the IP address from the management subnet assigned to the unit.
