High Severity Findings (127 total)

Insecure LM/NTLM Authentication Methods Allowed
NIST: Data Security

The LM compatibility level allows legacy LM and/or NTLMv1 authentication methods. LM (LAN Manager) hashes are cryptographically weak and can be cracked in seconds. NTLMv1 is also vulnerable to relay attacks and offline cracking. Modern environments should use NTLMv2 or Kerberos only.

Management Service Allows Unrestricted Network Access
NIST: Access Control

This network service policy allows connections from any IP address (0.0.0.0/0) for management services. This exposes administrative interfaces (SSH, HTTPS, HTTP) to potential unauthorized access from any network location, significantly increasing the attack surface.

Multi-Admin Verification Not Enabled
NIST: Access Control

Multi-Admin Verification (MAV) is not enabled. MAV implements separation of duties by requiring approval from designated administrators before executing destructive operations such as volume deletion, snapshot deletion, or disabling security features.

NFS Export Allows Unrestricted Access
NIST: Access Control

This export policy rule allows any IP address (0.0.0.0/0) to mount the export. This configuration provides no network-level access control and allows unauthorized hosts on the network to access potentially sensitive data.

Default Admin Account Has Login Access
NIST: Access Control

The default 'admin' account has login access configured. Using the built-in admin account for routine administration creates significant security and audit concerns including no individual accountability and credential sharing risks.

Snapshot Locking Not Enabled
NIST: Data Security

Snapshot locking (tamperproof snapshots) is not enabled on this volume. Without snapshot locking, backup copies can be deleted by any administrator or by ransomware that has gained administrative access.

Volume Has No Snapshots
NIST: Data Security

This volume has no snapshots configured. Without snapshots, there is no point-in-time recovery capability for accidental deletion, corruption, or ransomware attacks.

... and 120 more high severity findings

Executive Recommendations

• HIGH PRIORITY: Remediate 127 high-severity finding(s) to reduce attack surface and improve security posture.
• MEDIUM PRIORITY: Schedule remediation of 27 medium-severity finding(s) during planned maintenance windows.
• LOW PRIORITY: Address 4 low-severity finding(s) as part of ongoing security maintenance.
• STRENGTHS: The cluster demonstrates 166 security controls that meet or exceed requirements. Continue monitoring these areas.
