Command Filtering not working consistently

Products

• CA Privileged Access Manager - Cloakware Password Authority (PA)
• PAM SAFENET LUNA HSM
• CA Privileged Access Manager (PAM)

Issue/Introduction

Command filtering is working sporadically if users enter the blacklisted keywords rapidly

<Please see attached file for image>

Cause

SSH client calls were not synchronized with the server responses correctly.

The validation was performed prematurely when commands are submitted too quickly, causing the inaccurate validation.
 

 

Environment

The issue started from CA PAM 2.8.1 release.

Resolution

The issue was fixed with 2.8.4.1 PAM.
