CEA

CEA (Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives) is a French public research organization that conducts scientific and technological research across four primary domains: low-carbon energies, defense and security, information technologies, and health technologies. UpGuard continuously monitors the security posture of CEA using open-source, commercial, and proprietary threat intelligence feeds. Our analysis is centered on objective, externally verifiable information.

CEA Vendor Risk Report

This vendor risk report is based on UpGuard's continuous monitoring of CEA's security posture using open-source, commercial, and proprietary threat intelligence feeds. The results are summarized into a security rating based on the analysis of hundreds of individual checks across five risk categories: website security, email security, phishing & malware, brand & reputation risk, and network security.

Website Security

CEA

CSP implemented unsafely

The Content Security Policy may not restrict sources appropriately, or may contain 'unsafe-inline' without the use of a nonce or hash. This increases the risk of XSS attacks.

Specific ASP.NET version exposed via header

Exposing a specific ASP.NET version in the ASP.NET version header makes it easier for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities. The website configuration should be changed to remove this header completely.

Use of ASP.NET exposed via header

Exposing the ASP.NET version header indicates that the site is built with ASP.NET, which makes it easier for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities. The website configuration should be changed to remove this header.

Server information header not exposed

Ensuring the server information header is not exposed reduces the ability of attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.

X-Powered-By header not exposed

Information about specific technology used on the server is obscured.

CSP implemented without insecure active sources

The Content Security Policy does not allow any insecure active sources.

Referrer policy is not unsafe-url

The website's Referrer Policy is not configured to allow unsafe information to be sent in the referrer header.

CSP implemented without insecure passive sources

The Content Security Policy does not allow any insecure passive (img/media) sources.

CSP implemented without unsafe-eval

A Content Security Policy is implemented to help protect against XSS and clickjacking attacks.

X-Content-Type-Options is not nosniff

Browsers are prevented from interpreting files as a different MIME type to what is specified in the Content-Type HTTP header. This helps mitigate MIME confusion attacks.

No unmaintained page detected

The page appears to be maintained.

Email

CEA

DMARC policy not found

DMARC policy was not found. This makes it easier for attackers to send email from this domain. A DMARC policy should be deployed for this domain.

SPF policy uses ~all

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record is too lenient as to which domains are allowed to send email on the domain's behalf. This record should preferably not use the ~all mechanism, as this does not instruct the mail receiver to reject messages from unauthorised sources. When DMARC is not being enforced, -all should be used on the SPF record.

SPF enabled

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records prevent spammers from sending messages with forged addresses.

SPF syntax correct

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record passes basic syntax checks.

SPF ptr mechanism not used

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record does not include the ptr mechanism.

Network

CEA

No ports are open

No open ports were detected.

DNS

CEA

DNSSEC not enabled

DNSSEC records prevent third parties from forging the records that guarantee a domain's identity. DNSSEC should be configured for this domain.

No unregistered MX records detected

No unregistered MX records that could lead to receiving mail on behalf of the target organization were detected.

Domain has not expired

Domain has not expired.

No subdomain takeover vulnerability detected

No dangling DNS records that could lead to subdomain takeover were detected.

Domain does not expire soon

Domain does not expire within 30 days.

CAA enabled

The domain contains a valid Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) record. A CAA record indicates which Certificate Authorities (CAs) are authorized to issue certificates for a domain.

See details

Encryption

CEA

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) not enforced

Without HSTS enforced, people browsing this site are more susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. The server should be configured to support HSTS.

Weak Diffie-Hellman prime used in key exchange

Weak Diffie-Hellman primes can potentially be broken by organized groups or nation-state actors, allowing passive eavesdropping on traffic. It is recommended to use a 2048-bit or stronger Diffie-Hellman prime.

Weak cipher suites supported in TLS 1.2

Weak cipher suites can potentially be broken by a well resourced attacker, and should not be supported by the server unless very old devices or browsers must be supported.

Certificate not found on our revoked certificate list

The site's certificate chain was checked against our list of revoked certificates.

SSL available

SSL is supported for this site.

HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS

All HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS.

Hostname matches SSL certificate

The site's hostname matches the SSL certificate.

SSL has not expired

SSL certificate has not expired.

Trusted SSL certificate

The certificate presented by this domain was issued by a trusted certificate authority.

No insecure SSL/TLS versions available

No insecure SSL/TLS versions are available for this site.

SSL certificate chain present in server response

A complete SSL certificate chain was presented by the server for this domain.

SSL chain certificates do not expire within 20 days

SSL intermediate and root certificates do not expire within 20 days.

SSL expiration period shorter than 398 days

The SSL certificate presented by the server has an expiration period shorter than 398 days.

SSL has more than 20% of its valid period remaining

SSL certificate does not expire in less than 20% of its total valid period.

Strong SSL algorithm

Industry standard SHA-256 encryption in use.

Strong public certificate key length

The site's public certificate provides at least 112 bits of security strength.

Data leakage

CEA

No open cloud storage service detected

No cloud storage service configured to allow anonymous file listing was detected.

Domain index is not a listable directory

The domain index is not a listable directory.

Vulnerability Management

CEA

Microsoft Sharepoint Server 16.0.0.10417 has potential vulnerabilities

Microsoft Sharepoint Server 16.0.0.10417 has vulnerabilities which might be exploitable under certain conditions. Affected domains should be checked to determine which vulnerabilities might pose a risk.

Not vulnerable to CVE-2015-1635 (IIS HTTP.sys Remote Code Execution)

HTTP.sys in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted HTTP requests.

Not vulnerable to CVE-2014-0160 (Heartbleed)

A bug in OpenSSL's implementation of the TLS heartbeat extension allows access to portions of memory on the targeted host e.g. cryptographic keys and passwords.

Not vulnerable to CVE-2014-3566 (POODLE)

The server does not support SSLv3, and is not vulnerable to the POODLE attack.

Not vulnerable to CVE-2015-0204 (FREAK)

The server does not offer RSA_EXPORT cipher suites, so clients are not vulnerable to the FREAK attack.

Not vulnerable to CVE-2015-4000 (Logjam)

The server is using strong Diffie-Hellman parameters and is not vulnerable to the Logjam attack.
