For nonlocal maintenance sessions, the Juniper SRX Services Gateway must explicitly deny the use of J-Web.

Discussion

If unsecured functions (lacking FIPS-validated cryptographic mechanisms) are used for management sessions, the contents of those sessions are susceptible to manipulation, potentially allowing alteration and hijacking.

J-Web (configured using the system services web-management option) does not meet the DoD requirement for management tools. It also does not work with all Juniper SRX hardware. By default, the web interface is disabled; however, it is easily enabled.

Check

Verify web-management is not enabled.

[edit] show system services web-management

If a stanza exists that configures web-management service options, this is a finding.

Fix

Remove the web-management service.

[edit] delete system services web-management
