ESA-2017-010: EMC RecoverPoint SSL Stripping Vulnerability

EMC Identifier: ESA-2017-010

CVE Identifier: CVE-2016-6650

Severity Rating: CVSS v3 Base Score: CVSS v3 Score: 6.8 
(AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

Affected products:

Summary: EMC RecoverPoint update contains a fix for a SSL Stripping 
Vulnerability that may potentially be exploited by malicious users to 
compromise the affected system.

Details: The Unisphere for RecoverPoint management interface does not enforce
SSL encryption from the client side. A man-in-the-middle attacker may trick 
the Unisphere for RecoverPoint browser to send information like login 
credentials in plain text. RecoverPoint 5.0 now supports HTTP Strict Transport
Security (HSTS) to mitigate this issue. It can be enabled with a configuration
change. For more information, see RecoverPoints Security Configuration
Guide and RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines Security Configuration Guide.

Resolution:

The following EMC RecoverPoint releases contain resolutions to these 
vulnerabilities:

EMC RecoverPoint 5.0

EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 5.0

EMC recommends all customers upgrade to one of the above versions at the 
earliest opportunity. Customers are strongly advised to limit administrator 
privileges to trusted users and change default passwords to minimize the risk.
See Security Configuration Guide for details.
