The Security Token Service application files must be verified for their integrity.

Rule version VCST-70-000008 · STIG v1 · 2026-09-09

Discussion

Verifying the Security Token Service application code is unchanged from its shipping state is essential for file validation and nonrepudiation of the Security Token Service. There is no reason the MD5 hash of the RPM original files should be changed after installation, excluding configuration files.

Satisfies: SRG-APP-000131-WSR-000051, SRG-APP-000357-WSR-000150

Check

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# rpm -V vmware-identity-sts|grep "^..5......"|grep -v -E "\.properties|\.xml|\.conf" 

If there is any output, this is a finding.

Fix

Reinstall the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) or roll back to a backup.

VMware does not support modifying the Security Token Service installation files manually.
