Vault

Continuous improvement of the compliance and secuirty of the Vault

Windows Server 2019 Hardening revised to follow CIS standards

CIS guidelines are used by many organizations as security standards and best practices for defending IT systems.

Accordingly, Digital Vault hardening has been revised to align with Center for Internet Security (CIS) guidelines specifically designed for the standalone server of the Digital Vault.

The new hardening achieves over 90% compliance with the January 2022 CIS report and provides additional hardening guidelines that are not covered or not secured to the Vault standard by the CIS report.

PAKeygen to support 64bit pkcs11 library and HSM that requires PIN integration

Expanding the Vault's ability to integrate with a broader range of Hardware Security Modules (HSM), the PAKeyGen utility is upgraded to support the 64bit PKCS#11 library when generating server keys with HSM integration. Additionally, HSM vendors that utilize a Personal Identification Number (PIN) are also supported.

Password Vault Web Access

Simplified Safe Management user interface

Password Vault Web Access 12.2 introduced the new Safes view that aligns with the cleaner and more modern look and feel. In this version we expanded the new Safes interface to offer a wizard-led workflow that provides simplification and better visibility that will improve the process of managing safes.

The new Safes view in the PVWA replaces the classic interface and offers extended management capabilities to:

Create and edit Safes within a new flexible workflow supported by wizard-led steps
Easily assign members to Safes thanks to enhanced user filtering capabilities
Manage Safe members and permissions as part of the Safe creation and editing flow. Permissions are easier to manage thanks to predefined permission sets (Read only, Approver, Accounts manager, Full, Customized).

Change password - set the next password value

Customers may need to specify the next password that will be used by the CPM to update an account's credentials.

In such cases Vault administrators can, straight from the default PVWA UI, change the password in the Vault, which will be reconciled on the remote machine by the CPM during the next CPM process. Until now, this option was only available in the classic UI.

Certificate issuer validation to PKI/PKIPN Authentication

PKI enables the use of certificates for servers and users to identify each other and establish a secure connection. Certificates contain encryption values, or keys, that are used for encrypting and ensuring the integrity of messages sent between the two parties.

When a user logs on to the PVWA using the PKI/PKIPN authentication method, the user and the Server establish an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection. During the SSL handshake, the parties exchange certificates and check their validity. They also check that the other party’s certificate was issued by a trusted CA (Certification Authority).

In this version we enhanced the authentication to validate that the certificate being used by the end user was issued only by that specific issuer. This will enable administrators to configure which issuer is the valid issuer for the PKI/PKIPN authentication.

REST API

User Management and Account management are the key elements in the organization's onboarding automated processes.

This release includes several improvements in our REST API Web services specifically around these areas for easier automation and usage.

The following new APIs were added:

Disable user - disables a user
Enable user - enables a user that was disabled
Get group details - retrieves the details of a single user group

In addition, we enhanced the Get accounts REST API to filter the returned list according to a set of views. These Saved Filters enable the developer to display accounts according to predefined criteria based on account and operation status, such as Deleted, DisabledPasswordByCPM and ScheduledForReconcile. We now also return the DeletedTimestamp per each of the returned accounts that are deleted, with the time when the account was deleted.

Improved PVWA application logger

CyberArk introduced in V11.4 the new application logger of the PVWA that improved and simplified the troubleshooting process. In this version we will complete the migration and it will become the main logger of the PVWA that will replace two of the existing logs.

In addition, we are adding a new enhanced console log that will replace the old CyberArk.WebConsole.log console log.

These new logs will improve our logging capabilities by providing a clear log structure that enables faster troubleshooting and determines failures without the need to enable debug mode explicitly.

By the end of the year, we expect customers to complete their transition to the new application logger and therefore, the CyberArk.WebConsole.log, CyberArk.WebApplication.log and CyberArk.WebSession<sessionId>.log log files will be disabled by default on clean installations and upgrades of upcoming versions.

Central Policy Manager

AWS STS Connector

The Amazon Web Services Console is the main interface users leverage to make administrative changes to AWS services. This powerful tool is a prime target for abuse by attackers. It is critical that organizations secure AWS console access, ensuring that only appropriate users have access and only to the services required for their job function. The AWS recommended best practice for privileged console access is to restrict traffic to specific workstations, but this can be a challenge in large organizations.

We are happy to introduce a new Amazon Web Services (AWS) Console with STS for connecting via AWS STS that will replace our previous plugin and, based on the Web applications for PSM framework, is supported over Chrome and Internet Explorer.

This integration allows organizations to fully isolate and monitor AWS console sessions using Amazon Secure Token Service (STS), which provides temporary credentials.

To learn more, see AWS Cloud Services Management.

Privileged Session Manager

Taking access enforcement to the next level and improving the compliance control of the PSM path to the critical assets of the organization.

Network-based access control to ad hoc connections

With the changing of office perimeters and employees no longer being office-bound and on the go, it is essential to have better enforcement of their access to the organization's resources and to be able to apply compliance and access regulations globally.

In this version, customers can now apply subnet-based rules to control the access of end users to specific targets based on their location.

Rules may be created on an allowlist or denylist approach, depending on the organization's settings.

Dual Control timeframe enforcement on ongoing PSM sessions

Controlling the timeframe for end users' access to the organization's assets is important from an accountability and compliance perspective.

In this version, we've added the option to enforce the Dual Control request's timeframe that is associated with the session and trigger a session termination once that timeframe reaches its end.

PSM registration flexibility

When a new PSM instance is being registered to the Vault during the Registration stage of the installation, its IP address is being written in the PSM server connection data in the configuration options. In this release we have added the option to register PSM with its DNS name (FQDN), which provides flexibility in dynamically changing networks and makes it easier to secure the PSM connectivity with SSL certificates.

This option is toggled by a new parameter in the Registration stage configuration and is not available when installing PSM via the installation wizard.

Privileged Session Manager for SSH

Continuous improvement of the compliance and security offering of SSH based sessions

Enhanced auditing for file transfer sessions

We are increasing the compliance coverage of SFTP session recordings by adding audit capabilities and including user activities as well as file information in the monitoring page.

SSH tunneling in PSM for SSH integrated mode

PSM for SSH enables authorized users to initiate and use an SSH tunnel to access a target SSH server, while providing start/end tunnel session audit capabilities. Through this tunnel, users can launch GUI applications such as Web or SQL from their workstation, maintaining their existing workflow.

Using PSM for SSH, Security Managers can control access by determining which users can access different target systems.

In this version, PSM for SSH’s Integrated Mode provides the flexibility to configure SSH tunneling for specific systems, according to the access and security needs of the organization.

Privileged Threat Analytics

Simplified installation and upgrade

With today's high frequency of security vulnerabilities in various platforms and applications, it is important to give customers full control and alignment over package versioning and updates without requiring a PTA patch.

Starting this version, PTA installation and upgrade processes will only include updates for the following third parties:

apache-activemq
apache-tomcat
mongodb
mongodb_exporter
monit
node_exporter
Prometheus
Pushgateway
Azul Zulu OpenJDK

This will enable customers to react fast in case of a published vulnerability related to the packages that are no longer part of the PTA installation process.

The rest of the packages that used to be part of PTA installation and upgrade will be considered as prerequisites and their installation will be verified by the PTA before starting the installation and upgrade process.

When PTA is deployed from the disk image, the installation will still include all third-party packages. However, following the initial deployment and moving forward, customers should manage any future updates and security patches of these third party packages.

MongoDB version upgrade

The embedded MongoDB version used by PTA has been upgraded from version 3.6 to version 4.4.

Sensor connectivity indication on system health page

Improving on the visibility of PTA's health, in this version the system health page has been extended with information about the last time each sensor has last communicated with the PTA.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) Protection

The CSRF vulnerability is related to browser behavior. It uses existing session parameters to any request to same site, which enables an attacker to forge a modifying request and manipulate the user to trigger it.

With CSRF protection, each request holds a CSRF token that is unique to the current user session, which makes it impossible to forge a generic request.

In this version, we've added CSRF protection on the PTA classic UI.

Risky commands expansion to Google Cloud commands

The current default list of risky command has been extended to include commands that are relevant for Google Cloud.

Unmanaged Privileged Access (UPA) exclude list

Starting this version we are providing customers with the flexibility to exclude certain usernames which they find as irrelevant for the process of unmanaged privileged users detection.

Security Enhancements

TLS 1.2 Support

CPM

CPM supports the use of TLS 1.2 for incoming connections to the CPM and outgoing connections to targets. It is a security best practice to disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 to ensure the use of the higher level encryption protocol.

Starting from this version, we will disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on the CPM server by default as part of CPM hardening. Customers who would like to use previous TLS versions can configure the system to allow these versions after the hardening phase is completed, or exclude this step from the hardening phase in advance. See Updates IIS SSL/TLS settings for more information.

PAM - Self-Hosted on cloud - Vault integration with Azure Key Vault

Microsoft has announced the deprecation of TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 starting May 31, 2022 when integrating with the Azure Key Vault service.

Since CyberArk Azure images integrate with Azure Key Vault to protect the server key, Cyberark Vault images have been accordingly updated to support TLS 1.2 for .NET Framework.

PTA - TLS 1.2 enforcement during installation

Following security best practices, starting this version new deployments of PTA will use TLS 1.2-based communication by default for incoming syslog ports.

Customers can change this configuration either during the installation process or manually through the system properties file.

This change is not applicable for existing deployments, although we strongly recommend that customers update manually and start using TLS 1.2 if they haven't done so by now.

PVWA internal components upgrade

Internal components were upgraded to enhance security and make technological improvements to the operating system and third-party components for the PVWA Server. The PVWA hardening process was updated accordingly.

Released PAM - Self-Hosted components

Component	Version	Internal Build Number
Vault	12.6	12.6.0.21
PVWA	12.6	12.6.0.40
CPM	12.6	12.6.0.4
PSM	12.6	12.6.0.14
PSM for SSH	12.6	12.6.0.26
PTA	12.6

Who should install this version

We recommend that all customers upgrade to the latest version.

Installation and upgrade notes

For complete installation instructions for all components, see Install PAM - Self-Hosted. For complete upgrade instructions, see Upgrade.

Vault

Before upgrading CyberArk Digital Vault to this version, you must migrate all existing operating systems to Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019. For more information, see Migrate the Vault Operating System.

CPM

Important: Make sure to complete and follow all installation and hardening steps according to the documentation.

Important: This CPM version contains GPO changes. You must import the hardening file that is supplied with the installation package and follow the Hardening CPM servers in a domain or Hardening CPM servers in a domain after upgrade instructions.

Due to the changes described below, we recommend disabling the CyberArk Password Manager service until you complete the following instructions.

As part of the upgrade, the following local Windows users are created on the CPM machine, in addition to the PasswordManagerUser:

PluginManagerUser – All plugins will run using this user by default.
ScannerUser – Scanner service will run using this user.

For more information regarding the installation changes, see Creates Local Windows Service users and configures permissions.

Due to this change, all PMTerminal-based plugins must be migrated to Terminal Plugin Controller (TPC) to work properly. In addition, as some of the custom plugins might also be affected, CyberArk recommends testing them to verify they work properly with their new user.

PMTerminal based plugins:
1. Follow Scan and review existing platforms to identify platforms working with PMTerminal-based plugins. If no platform was identified, skip to section 2 below.
2. If PMTerminal-based plugins are found, migrate all tested PMTerminal-based plugins and platforms to run using TPC by following Migrate platforms from PMTerminal to TPC.
  For automatic migration of the platforms, use the PMTerminal to TPC tool (see Option 1 - Migrate all platforms from PMTerminal to TPC automatically).
3. If a plugin cannot be migrated to TPC, or if you need to perform the migration gradually, refer to section 2.d. below.
  
  Connecting to Mainframe devices using WC3270 is not supported by TPC.
4. Go back to step 1.b. to complete the migration for all PMTerminal-based plugins to run using TPC.
Custom plugins:
1. Custom plugins may experience issues after the CPM version upgrade; therefore, we recommend that you test them after the upgrade or patch to verify they run properly.
2. To test a plugin, trigger a password Change / Verify task. If the task succeeds, no further action is required.
3. If the plugin fails to run, CyberArk strongly recommends modifying the plugin so it can run with the PluginManagerUser user.
4. As a temporary mitigation only, until the plugin is modified to run with the PluginManagerUser user, update the respective user permissions of the plugin files to least privilege according to Change permissions of plugin-related files, and enable the RunPluginWithHighPrivilege flag on the specific platform (see Enable higher user privileges on a specific platformfor more details).

On manual installation, an additional step will be added to validate that prerequisite OS packages and third-party software exist in the server.

TLS v1.2 enforcement

The PTA installation wizard will have an additional step enabling you to modify the default configuration for ports 512 and 11514 when selecting y:

Selecting n will skip this step and continue with the existing PTA installation wizard installation flow.

MongoDB version upgrade

MongoDB upgrade will be triggered from the PTA primary server upgrade and will perform the MongoDB upgrade in both the primary and secondary (DR) PTA servers.

An additional step will be added to the PTA primary upgrade to enter the root user password for the PTA secondary (DR) server.

Graphical user interface, text, application

Description automatically generated

PTA DR upgrade will not be affected and will be required as well.

PVWA	12.6	Oracle SSO and RSA SecurID authentications will no longer be provided out of the box and will no longer be supported.
PVWA	12.6	CyberArk introduced in V12.2 the improved solution for our Business Users via CyberArk Identity service. Business users can now log in seamlessly to web applications directly from the application login pages, leveraging the user-friendly capabilities of auto-capture and credentials form-fill when launching such applications from the CyberArk Identity service Browser Extension, User Portal, and Mobile App. Both solutions cannot be supported side-by-side. Therefore, the Business Users solution via the PVWA will no longer be available by default in all clean installs and upgrades. We encourage our customers to move to the Identity solution.
PVWA	12.6	Internet Explorer versions 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 will no longer be supported with PVWA Classic interface.
Password Upload Utility	12.6	Today our customer can add accounts to the Password Vault using either web services or using the PVWA itself by Add an account in V10 Interface, Add multiple accounts from a file in V10 Interface, or via the Accounts Feed by using the CPM to scan an organizational network and retrieve a list of accounts and their dependencies. Starting June 30, 2022, CyberArk ends the support for the Password Upload Utility, a tool that is based on an old technology and was used in the past to upload multiple accounts to the Password Vault.
PSM	12.6	CyberArk will no longer support ActiveX connections. We strongly advise our customers who are using ActiveX to transition to our built-in connection methods.
PVWA	Next version	In our next version, CyberArk will remove the following old PVWA logs: CyberArk.WebApplication.log CyberArk.WebSession<sessionId>.log. In addition, the CyberArk.WebConsole.log logger will remain but will be disabled by default on clean installations and upgrades.
PVWA	Next version	We will remove the Resolve button from the Add Account, Edit Account, and Connect screens. The Resolve button resolves the remote machine’s domain automatically by populating the domain name in the Logon To field. This value must be specified manually.
PSMP	Next Version	CyberArk will no longer support Custom Mode. We strongly recommend that customers use Integrated Mode instead, which is modern, reliable, and best practice. New features will be developed for Integrated Mode only.
PSM for SSH	Next Version	CyberArk will no longer support Telnet-based connections. As a security best practice, SSH connection is highly recommended.
