Fix Recommendation

Determine the location of the "HTTPD_ROOT" directory and the "httpd.conf" file:

# httpd -V | egrep -i 'httpd_root|server_config_file'
-D HTTPD_ROOT="/etc/httpd"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"

Review "Script", "ScriptAlias" or "ScriptAliasMatch", and "ScriptInterpreterSource" directives.

Go into each directory and locate "cgi-bin" files. Remove any script that is not needed for application operation.

Ensure this process is documented and approved by the ISSO.

Check Contents

Determine the location of the "HTTPD_ROOT" directory and the "httpd.conf" file:

# httpd -V | egrep -i 'httpd_root|server_config_file'
-D HTTPD_ROOT="/etc/httpd"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"

Locate "cgi-bin" files and directories enabled in the Apache configuration via "Script", "ScriptAlias" or "ScriptAliasMatch", and "ScriptInterpreterSource" directives:

# cat /<path_to_file>/httpd.conf | grep -i "Script"

If any scripts are present that are not needed for application operation, this is a finding.

If this is not documented and approved by the Information System Security Officer (ISSO), this is a finding.
