JUEX-NM-000450 - The Juniper EX switch must be configured to prohibit installation of software without explicit privileged status.

Information

Allowing anyone to install software, without explicit privileges, creates the risk that untested or potentially malicious software will be installed on the system. This requirement applies to code changes and upgrades for all network devices.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Configure the network device to prohibit installation of software without explicit privileged status.

set system login class <name> permissions <permission sets or 'all'>
set system login class <name> deny-commands <appropriate commands to deny>
set system login class <name> deny-configuration-regexps <appropriate configuration hierarchy to deny>

set system login user <account name> class <name>
