Discussion

Communication to Prisma Cloud Compute Console's User Interface (UI) and API is protected by TLS v1.2+ (HTTPS). By default, only HTTPS communication to the Console's UI and API endpoints is enabled.

Prisma Cloud Compute TCP port usage is configurable.

Default configuration: TCP 8081 Console user interface and API (HTTP) - disabled by default. TCP 8083 Console user interface and API TLS v1.2 (HTTPS) TCP 8084 Console-to-Defender communication via mutual TLS v1.2 WebSocket session.

Check

For Kubernetes deployment:

Query the ports used by the twistlock-console service: $ kubectl describe svc twistlock-console -n twistlock

If the TargetPort management-port-http exists and has a port assignment, this is a finding. Port: management-port-http 8081/TCP TargetPort: 8081/TCP

For Docker deployment:

Determine the name of the Console container: docker ps|grep console

For example, the Console container is: ad8b41a2fec9 twistlock/private:console_22_01_840

Inspect the container's PortBindings: docker inspect ad8b41a2fec9|grep PortBindings -A 20

If port 8081 is listed, this is a finding.

Fix

For Kubernetes deployment:

Edit the deployment.apps/twistlock-console.

Find the - name: MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTP setting

Remove the value assignment (e.g., 8081): - name: MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTP value: "8081"

Save and exit the editing session. The Console will restart automatically.

For Docker deployment:

Modify the twistlock.cfg located in the extracted release tar directory.

Remove the value assignment for the MANAGEMENT_PORT_HTTP= variable.

Redeploy the Console using the twistlock.sh script located in the extracted release tar directory.

$ sudo ./twisltock.sh -sy onebox
