Hello,
We can add these identifiers to the HTML report. How should it look like?
For example Rule named "umask_for_daemons" contains reference to AC-6.
The output now looks:
"""
Security identifiers
* CCE-27031-4
"""
Once we include 800-53 references it could look like:
"""
Security identifiers
* Security Control ID (NIST SP 800-53): AC-6
* CCE-27031-4
"""
Does that look reasonable to you? Do you have better suggestions?
Would it be possible to separate "Security identifiers" from "Security
mappings"?
Identifiers such as CCEs are unique one-to-one mappings against the
XCCDF rule, whereas "security mappings" provide a many-to-one
relationship and really aren't meant to uniquely identify the XCCDF
rule. e.g.:
Security Identifiers
* CCE-27031-4
Security Mappings
* NIST 800-53 AC-6
* DISA CCI 12345
It's completely acceptable if this isn't an option! Having this
information in the report would be incredibly useful.
