The system administrator must have the capability to configure VPN access to meet organization-specific policies based on mission needs. Otherwise, a user could inadvertently or maliciously set up a VPN and connect to a network that poses an unacceptable risk to DOD information systems. An adversary could exploit vulnerabilities created by the weaker configuration to compromise DOD sensitive information. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #3
Checks: C-80529r1146616_chk

Review the list of unmanaged apps installed on the Vision Pro and determine if any unmanaged third-party VPN clients are installed. If so, verify the VPN app is not configured with a DOD network (work) VPN profile. This validation procedure is performed on the visionOS device only. On the Vision Pro: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General". 3. Tap the "VPN and Device Management" line and determine if any "Personal VPN" exists. 4. If not, the requirement has been met. 5. If there are personal VPNs, open each VPN app. Review the list of VPN profiles configured on the VPN client. 6. Verify no DOD network VPN profiles are configured on the VPN client. If any third-party unmanaged VPN apps are installed (personal VPN) and they have a DOD network VPN profile configured on the client, this is a finding. Note: This setting cannot be managed by the MDM administrator and is a User-Based Enforcement (UBE) requirement.

Fix: F-80434r1146617_fix

If a third-party unmanaged VPN app is installed on the visionOS 2 device, do not configure the VPN app with a DOD network VPN profile.

Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. The ability to crack a password is a function of how many attempts an adversary is permitted, how quickly an adversary can do each attempt, and the size of the password space. The longer the minimum length of the password is, the larger the password space. Having a too-short minimum password length significantly reduces password strength, increasing the chance of password compromise and resulting device and data compromise. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #1
Checks: C-80535r1146634_chk

Review configuration settings to confirm the minimum passcode length is six or more characters. This procedure is performed in the Apple visionOS management tool and on the Vision Pro. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the Management tool, verify the "Minimum passcode length" value is set to six or greater. Alternatively, verify the text "<key>minLength</key> <integer>6</integer>" appears in the configuration profile (.mobileconfig file). It also is acceptable for the integer value to be greater than six. On the Vision Pro: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General". 3. Tap "VPN & Device Management". 4. Tap the configuration profile from the Apple visionOS management tool containing the password policy. 5. Tap "Restrictions". 6. Tap "Passcode". 7. Verify "Minimum length" is listed as "six or greater". If the "Minimum passcode length" is fewer than six characters in the visionOS management tool, "<key>minLength</key> " has an integer value of fewer than six, or the password policy on the Vision Pro from the Apple visionOS management tool does not list "Minimum length" of six or more, this is a finding.

Fix: F-80440r1146635_fix

The screen lock timeout must be set to a value that helps protect the device from unauthorized access. Having a too-long timeout would increase the window of opportunity for adversaries who gain physical access to the mobile device through loss, theft, etc. Such devices are much more likely to be in an unlocked state when acquired by an adversary, thus granting immediate access to the data on the mobile device. The maximum timeout period of 15 minutes has been selected to balance functionality and security; shorter timeout periods may be appropriate depending on the risks posed to the mobile device. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #2
Checks: C-80537r1146640_chk

Review configuration settings to confirm the screen lock timeout is set to 15 minutes or fewer. This check procedure is performed on both the Apple visionOS management tool and the Vision Pro. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the management tool, verify the sum of the values assigned to "Maximum Auto-Lock time" and "Grace period for device lock" is between 1 and 15 minutes. Alternatively, locate the text "<key>maxGracePeriod</key>" and "<key>maxInactivity</key>" and ensure the sum of their integer value is between 1 and 15 in the configuration profile (.mobileconfig file). For example: "<key>maxGracePeriod</key> <integer>5</integer> <key>maxInactivity</key> <integer>5</integer>" Here, 5 + 5 = 10; this meets the requirement. On the Vision Pro: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General". 3. Tap "VPN & Device Management". 4. Tap the configuration profile from the visionOS management tool containing the password policy. 5. Tap "Restrictions". 6. Tap "Passcode". 7. Verify the sum of the "Max grace period" and "Max inactivity" values is fewer than 15 minutes. Note: On some visionOS devices, it is not possible to have a sum of exactly 15. In these cases, the sum must be fewer than 15. A sum of 16 does not meet the requirement. On the management server, if the sum of the "Max grace period" and "Max inactivity" values is not between 1 and 15 minutes in the visionOS management tool or the sum of the values assigned to "<key>maxGracePeriod</key>" and "<key>maxInactivity</key>" is not between 1 and 15 minutes in the configuration profile, or if on the Vision Pro, the sum of the values assigned to "Max grace period" and "Max inactivity" is not between 1 and 15 minutes, this is a finding.

Fix: F-80442r1146641_fix

Install a configuration profile to lock the device display after 15 minutes (or fewer) of inactivity. This is done by setting "Maximum Auto-Lock time" and "Grace Period for device lock" so the sum of their values is between 1 and 15 minutes.

The more attempts an adversary has to guess a password, the more likely the adversary will enter the correct password and gain access to resources on the device. Setting a limit on the number of attempts mitigates this risk. Setting the limit at 10 or fewer gives authorized users the ability to make a few mistakes when entering the password but still provides adequate protection against dictionary or brute force attacks on the password. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #2, FIA_AFL_EXT.1.5
Checks: C-80538r1146643_chk

Review configuration settings to confirm that consecutive failed authentication attempts is set to 10 or fewer. This procedure is performed in the Apple visionOS management tool and on the Vision Pro. Note: If an organization has multiple configuration profiles, the check procedure must be performed on the relevant configuration profiles applicable to the scope of the review. In the Management tool, verify the "Maximum number of failed attempts" value is set to 10 or fewer. Alternatively, verify the text "<key>maxFailedAttempts</key> <integer>10</integer>" appears in the configuration profile (.mobileconfig file). It also is acceptable for the integer value to be fewer than 10. On the Vision Pro: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "General". 3. Tap "VPN & Device Management". 4.

Many mobile devices display notifications on the lock screen so users can obtain relevant information in a timely manner without having to frequently unlock the phone. However, in many cases, these notifications can contain sensitive information. When they are available on the lock screen, an adversary can view them merely by being in close physical proximity to the device. Configuring the mobile operating system not to send notifications to the lock screen mitigates this risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #18

Before granting access to the system, the mobile operating system is required to display the DOD-approved system use notification message or banner that provides privacy and security notices consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance. Required banners help ensure that DOD can audit and monitor the activities of mobile device users without legal restriction. System use notification messages can be displayed when individuals first access or unlock the mobile device. The banner must be implemented as a "click-through" banner at device unlock (to the extent permitted by the operating system). A "click-through" banner prevents further activity on the information system unless and until the user executes a positive action to manifest agreement by clicking on a box indicating "OK". The approved DOD text must be used exactly as required in the Knowledge Service referenced in DODI 8500.01. For devices accommodating banners of 1300 characters, the banner text is: You are accessing a U.S. Government (USG) Information System (IS) that is provided for USG-authorized use only. By using this IS (which includes any device attached to this IS), you consent to the following conditions: -The USG routinely intercepts and monitors communications on this IS for purposes including, but not limited to, penetration testing, COMSEC monitoring, network operations and defense, personnel misconduct (PM), law enforcement (LE), and counterintelligence (CI) investigations. -At any time, the USG may inspect and seize data stored on this IS. -Communications using, or data stored on, this IS are not private, are subject to routine monitoring, interception, and search, and may be disclosed or used for any USG-authorized purpose. -This IS includes security measures (e.g., authentication and access controls) to protect USG interests--not for your personal benefit or privacy. -Notwithstanding the above, using this IS does not constitute consent to PM, LE or CI investigative searching or monitoring of the content of privileged communications, or work product, related to personal representation or services by attorneys, psychotherapists, or clergy, and their assistants. Such communications and work product are private and confidential. See User Agreement for details. For devices with severe character limitations, the banner text is: I've read & consent to terms in IS user agreem't.

App data sharing gives apps the ability to access the data of other apps for enhanced user functionality. However, sharing also poses a significant risk that unauthorized users or apps will obtain access to sensitive DOD information. To mitigate this risk, there are data sharing restrictions. If a user is allowed to make exceptions to the data sharing restriction policy, the user could enable unauthorized sharing of data, leaving it vulnerable to breach. Limiting the granting of exceptions to either the administrator or common application developer mitigates this risk. Copy/paste of data between applications in different application processes or groups of application processes is considered an exception to the access control policy; therefore, the administrator must be able to enable/disable the feature. Other exceptions include allowing any data or application sharing between process groups. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #42, FDP_ACF_EXT.1.2

Upon device retirement, turn in, or reassignment, ensure a factory data reset is performed prior to device handoff. Follow mobility service provider decommissioning procedures as applicable. - How to configure the following UBE controls (users must configure the control) and other controls on the Vision Pro: ** Never enable Guest User Mode. Use is prohibited. ** Never enable Developer Mode. Use is prohibited. - AO guidance on acceptable use and restrictions, if any, on downloading and installing personal apps and data (music, photos, etc.). - The Developer Strap must not be used with a DOD Vision Pro device without the explicit approval of the AO. - How to disable Bluetooth when Bluetooth use is not approved by the AO.

The Apple Developer Strap provides a USB connector on the AVP and is used to download content on the AVP from a Mac. Using the Developer Strap without authorization is considered an unauthorized modification to the DOD owned AVP. The Developer Strap is sold by Apple only to registered Apple developers but can also be bought online. Data cannot be downloaded from the AVP to a connected Mac and does not currently provide access to an AVP enterprise network to the connected Mac. Only unmanaged apps can be uploaded to an AVP via the Developer Strap. Unauthorized unmanaged apps can be downloaded to the AVP from the connected Mac. SFR ID: FMT_MOF_EXT.1.2 #47
Checks: C-80571r1146742_chk

Interview the site information system security officer (ISSO) and AVP users. Determine if the AVP Developer Strap is used at the site. If yes, verify the AO has approved its use by reviewing approval documentation. Verify AVP users are trained to not use the AVP developer Strap without AO approval (AVOS-02-011900). If the AVP Developer Strap is used at the site without AO approval, this is a finding.

Fix: F-80476r1146743_fix

Train AVP users to not connect and use the Developer Strap unless the AO has approved its use for a specific use case (refer to AVOS-02-011900). AO use approval must be documented and must detail specific use cases for which its use is approved.
