Baseline Inspection Overview

Baseline Inspection includes password complexity policy detection, common weak password detection, and configuration check. It can detect insecure password configurations and risky configurations in key software on servers, and provide rectification suggestions for detected risks, helping you correctly handle risky configurations on servers.

Baseline Inspection Content

Item	Description	Supported Check Mode	Supported HSS Version
Unsafe configuration	Check the unsafe Tomcat, Nginx, SSH login, and system configurations found by HSS. Currently, the following check standards and types are supported: For Linux, Cloud security practice: Apache2, Docker, MongoDB, Redis, MySQL5, Nginx, Tomcat, SSH, vsftp, CentOS7, EulerOS, EulerOS_ext, Kubernetes-Node, Kubernetes-Master, HCE 1.1, HCE 2.0 DJCP MLPS compliance: Apache 2, MongoDB, MySQL 5, Nginx, Tomcat, CentOS 6, CentOS 7, CentOS 8, Debian 9, Debian 10, Debian 11, Red Hat 6, Red Hat 7, Red Hat 8, Ubuntu 12, Ubuntu 14, Ubuntu 16, Ubuntu 18, Alma, HCE 1.1 For Windows, The cloud security practice baseline can check MongoDB, Apache2, MySQL, Nginx, Redis, Tomcat, Windows_2008, Windows_2012, Windows_2016, Windows_2019, and SqlServer.	Automated baseline checks Manual baseline checks	Enterprise, premium, WTP, and container edition
Password complexity policies	Check whether your password complexity policy of Linux system account is proper and modify it based on suggestions provided by HSS, improving password security.	Manual baseline checks	All versions
Common weak passwords	Weak passwords defined in the common weak password library. You can check for accounts and remind users to change them. Common weak passwords of MySQL, FTP, and system accounts.	Automated baseline checks Manually Performing a Baseline Check	All

Usage Process

Table 1 Usage process

No.	Operation	Description
1	Performing baseline inspection	The baseline inspection supports automatic and manual baseline checks. Automatic baseline check: automatically performs a check for all server configurations and common weak passwords at 01:00 every day. Premium edition, web tamper protection edition, and container edition allow you to customize the automatic detection period for configurations. For details, see Configuration Check. Premium edition, web tamper protection edition, and container edition allow you to customize the automatic detection period for weak passwords. For details, see Weak Password Scan. Manual baseline inspection: To view the real-time baseline risks of a specified server, you can manually perform a baseline inspection.
2	Viewing and processing baseline inspection results	After the baseline inspection is complete, you need to view and handle baseline configuration risks.
