Viewing and Processing Baseline Check Results
This topic provides suggestions on how to fix baseline configuration risks on the server.
Constraints
Only enterprise edition, premium edition, web tamper protection edition, and container edition are supported.
Detection Description
The MySQL baseline detection of Linux OS is based on the MySQL 5 security configuration specifications. If MySQL 8 is installed on your server, the following check items are not displayed in the detection results, because they are discarded in that version. The detection results are displayed only on the server whose MySQL version is 5.
- Rule: Do not set old_passwords to 1.
- Rule: Set secure_auth to 1 or ON.
- Rule: Do not set skip_secure_auth.
- Rule: Set log_warnings to 2.
- Rule: Configure the MySQL binlog clearing policy.
- Rule: The sql_mode parameter contains NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER.
- Rule: Use the MySQL audit plug-in.
Viewing Baseline Check Overview Information
- Log in to the management console.
- In the upper left corner of the page, select a region, click
, and choose Security & Compliance > HSS.
- In the navigation pane on the left, choose Risk Management > Baseline Checks.
NOTE:
If your servers are managed by enterprise projects, you can select an enterprise project to view or operate the asset and scan information.
- Click different tabs on the displayed page to check detected unsafe configurations. Figure 1 lists the corresponding parameters.
To view the check results of servers under different manual baseline check policies, you can switch between baseline check policies.Figure 1 Baseline check overview
Table 1 Baseline check overview Parameter
Description
Baseline check policy
Available baseline check policies that have been added. You can select, create, edit, and delete these policies.
Scanned servers
Total number of detected servers.
Security baselines
Number of baselines executed during the server detection.
Baseline check items
Total number of checked server configuration items.
Safe settings rate
Percentage of configuration items that passed the baseline check to the total number of check items. Failed items are displayed by risk level.
Top 5 servers with unsafe settings
Statistics on servers with server configuration risks.
The top 5 servers with the highest risks are preferentially sorted. If no high-risk settings exist, the servers are sorted into medium-risk and low-risk ones in sequence.
Servers with weak passwords
Total number of detected servers, as well as the numbers of servers with weak passwords, those without weak passwords, and those with weak password detection disabled.
Top 5 servers with weak passwords
Statistics on the top 5 servers with most weak password risks.
Unsafe configuration
Alarms generated for servers with configuration risks and the risk statistics.
Password complexity policies
Statistics on servers with passwords that do not meet the complexity requirements in the baseline.
Common weak passwords
Statistics on servers with weak passwords and accounts.
Viewing and Processing Configuration Check Results
- Click the Unsafe Configurations tab to view the risk items. For more information, see Table 2.
Figure 2 Viewing unsafe configuration details
Table 2 Parameter description Parameter
Description
Risk Level
Level of a detection result.
- High
- Low
- Medium
- Secure
Baseline Name
Name of the baseline that is checked.
Type
Policy type of the baseline that has been checked.
- Cloud security practices
- DJCP MLPS
- General security standard
Check Item
Total number of configuration items that are checked.
Risky Item
Total number of the risky configurations.
Affected Servers
Total number of servers affected by the detected risks in a baseline.
Last Scanned
Time when the last detection was performed.
Description
Description of a baseline.
- Click the target baseline name in the list to view the baseline description, affected servers, and details about all check items.
Figure 3 Viewing baseline check details
- Handle risk items.
- Ignoring risks
Click Ignore in the Operation column of the target check item to ignore a check item. Select multiple check items and click Ignore to ignore them in batches.
Figure 4 Ignoring risks - Fixing risks
- Click View Details in the Operation column of the target risk item to view the check item details.
- View the content in the Audit Description, Suggestion, and Affected Servers. Rectify the unsafe configurations.
NOTE:
- Currently, one-click fixing is supported for some EulerOS baseline configurations and CentOS 8 baseline configurations. You can simply click Fix in the Operation column of the target EulerOS or CentOS check item to fix the unsafe configurations. If some parameters need to be configured during restoration, retain the default values.
- You are advised to fix the settings with high severity immediately and fix those with medium or low severity.
- After the repair is complete, click Verify on the Affected Servers tab page to verify the result.
If a failed check item has been fixed, you can update its status through verification.
NOTE:
- Currently, baseline checks are not supported for Windows OSs.
- The agent status of the target server must be online.
- Only one risk item can be verified at a time. Other risk items can be verified only after the risk items are verified.
- Baseline checks are supported for the following Linux OSs: Apache 2, Docker, MongoDB, Redis, MySQL 5, Nginx, Tomcat, SSH, vsftp, CentOS 7, CentOS 8, EulerOS, Debian 9, Debian 10, Debian 11, Red Hat 6, Red Hat 7, Red Hat 8, Ubuntu 12, Ubuntu 14, Ubuntu 16, Ubuntu 18, SUSE 12, SUSE 15, HCE 1.1, and HCE 2.0.
- Click OK to start the verification.
- Return to the check item list page and view the status of the risk item.
The status changes to Verifying. The system starts automatic verification. After the verification is complete, check the status. If a check item failed to be fixed, click View Cause to view the cause. Then, fix it again.
