Description
Remote administration provides a potential opportunity for malicious users to make unauthorized changes to the Connection Manager configuration or interrupt its service.
ℹ️ Check
View the cman.ora file in the ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.
If the file does not exist, the database is not accessed via Oracle Connection Manager and this check is not a finding.
If the entry and value for REMOTE_ADMIN is not listed or is not set to a value of NO (REMOTE_ADMIN = NO), this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
View the cman.ora file in the ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory of the Connection Manager.
Include the following line in the file:
REMOTE_ADMIN = NO
