If any of the prohibited extensions are found, then for each of them, verify that it is not associated with an application that executes code. However, applications such as Notepad.exe that do not execute code may be associated with the extension. If the extension is associated with an unauthorized application, then this is a finding.

Method 2: Use the Options User Interface Applications menu to search for the prohibited extensions in the Content column of the table. If an extension that is not approved for automatic execution exists and the entry in the Action column is associated with an application that does not execute the code (e.g., Notepad), then do not mark this as a finding.

When debugging or trace information is enabled in a production web browser, information about the web browser, such as web browser type, version, patches installed, plug-ins and modules installed, type of code being used by the hosted application, and any back-ends being used for data storage may be displayed. Since this information may be placed in logs and general messages during normal operation of the web browser, an attacker does not need to cause an error condition to gain this information.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls></description><reference><dc:title>DPMS Target Firefox</dc:title><dc:publisher>DISA</dc:publisher><dc:type>DPMS Target</dc:type><dc:subject>Firefox</dc:subject><dc:identifier>205</dc:identifier></reference><ident system="http://iase.disa.mil/cci">CCI-001312</ident><fixtext fixref="F-103207r1_fix">Set the value of "devtools.policy.disabled" to "true" using the Mozilla.cfg file, or the registry value of HKLM\Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\DisableDeveloperTools to “1”</fixtext><fix id="F-103207r1_fix" /><check system="C-96365r1_chk"><check-content-ref name="M" href="DPMS_XCCDF_Benchmark_Mozilla_FireFox_STIG.xml" /><check-content>Procedure: Open a browser window, type "about:config" in the address bar.
