OH12-1X-000156 - OHS must disable the directive pointing to the directory containing the OHS manuals.

Information

Web server documentation, sample code, example applications, and tutorials may be an exploitable threat to a web server because this type of code has not been evaluated and approved. A production web server must only contain components that are operationally necessary (e.g., compiled code, scripts, web-content, etc.).

Any documentation, sample code, example applications, and tutorials must be removed from a production web server. To make certain that the documentation and code are not installed or uninstalled completely; the web server must offer an option as part of the installation process to exclude these packages or to uninstall the packages if necessary.

Solution

1. Open $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/<componentName>/httpd.conf with an editor.

2. Search for a '<Directory '${PRODUCT_HOME}/manual'>' directive at the OHS server configuration scope.

3. Comment out the '<Directory '${PRODUCT_HOME}/manual'>' directive and any directives it contains if they exist.
