03.14.13E Error Handling

Statement

• Generate error messages that provide information necessary for corrective actions without revealing information that could be exploited.

• Reveal error messages only to {{ insert: param, A.03.14.13E.ODP.01 }}.

Guidance

Organizations consider the structure and content of error messages. The extent to which systems can handle error conditions is guided and informed by organizational policy and operational requirements. Exploitable information includes stack traces and implementation details; erroneous logon attempts with passwords mistakenly entered as the username; mission or business information that can be derived from, if not stated explicitly by, the information recorded; and personally identifiable information, such as account numbers, Social Security numbers, and credit card numbers. Error messages may also provide a covert channel for transmitting information. This requirement is sourced to a control tailored out of the SP 800-53B .13 moderate baseline in SP 800-171.

Statement

• (includes preempt) Ensure that the threat event does not have an impact.

  • Reduce likelihood of occurrence and/or reduce likelihood of impact.

  • The adversary’s efforts or resources cannot be applied or are wasted.

Assessment objective

error messages that provide the information necessary for corrective actions are generated without revealing information that could be exploited.

Assessment objective

error messages are revealed only to {{ insert: param, A.03.14.13E.ODP.01 }}.

Assessment method

• System and information integrity policy system and information integrity procedures procedures addressing system error handling system design documentation system configuration settings and associated documentation documentation providing the structure and content of error messages system audit records system security plan other relevant documents or records

Assessment method

• Personnel responsible for information input validation personnel with information security responsibilities system/network administrators system developers

Assessment method

• Processes for error handling automated mechanisms supporting and/or implementing error handling automated mechanisms supporting and/or implementing the management of error messages
