Fix Recommendation

If the BIG-IP Core performs content filtering as part of the traffic management functionality, configure the BIG-IP Core as follows:

Configure a policy in the BIG-IP ASM module to prevent SQL injection attacks from being launched against data storage objects, including, at a minimum, databases, database records, and database fields.

Apply a policy to the applicable Virtual Server(s) in BIG-IP LTM module that was configured in the ASM module to prevent SQL injection attacks from being launched against data storage objects, including, at a minimum, databases, database records, and database fields.

Check Contents

If the BIG-IP Core does not perform content filtering as part of the traffic management functionality for virtual servers, this is not applicable.

When content filtering is performed as part of the traffic management functionality, verify the BIG-IP Core is configured as follows:

Verify Virtual Server(s) in the BIG-IP LTM module are configured with an ASM policy to prevent SQL injection attacks from being launched against data storage objects, including, at a minimum, databases, database records, and database fields.

Navigate to the BIG-IP System manager >> Local Traffic >> Virtual Servers >> Virtual Servers List tab.

Select Virtual Servers(s) from the list to verify.

Navigate to the Security >> Policies tab.

Verify that "Application Security Policy" is Enabled and "Policy" is set to use an ASM policy to prevent SQL injection attacks from being launched against data storage objects, including, at a minimum, databases, database records, and database fields.

If the BIG-IP Core is not configured to prevent SQL injection attacks launched against data storage objects, including, at a minimum, databases, database records, and database fields, this is a finding.
