Van toepassing op:
βœ“ Skype for Business (formerly Lync)

HTTP fallback = cleartext risk: Skype for Business: Messaging, presence, meetings (collaboration tool), HTTPS: Encrypted (TLS - credentials, messages protected), HTTP fallback: If HTTPS fails β†’ client falls back to HTTP (unencrypted), Attack: Man-in-the-middle β†’ blocks HTTPS (port 443) β†’ client falls back to HTTP β†’ credentials, messages intercepted (cleartext). Disable fallback: HTTPS ONLY (no unencrypted communication - connection fails if HTTPS unavailable). Modern: Teams replaced Skype for Business (maar Lync policies = legacy support).

PowerShell Modules Vereist
Primary API: Intune / GPO
Connection: Registry-based
Required Modules:

Implementatie

Disable HTTP fallback: Policy: Disable HTTP fallback for SIP connection: Enabled, Effect: HTTPS required (TLS - port 443), HTTP: Disabled (no cleartext fallback), Connection failure: If HTTPS unavailable β†’ connection fails (no insecure fallback).

Vereisten

  1. Skype for Business (Lync) 2013+
  2. Network: HTTPS (port 443) allowed
  3. Intune of GPO

Implementatie

Intune Settings Catalog: Lync\Security β†’ Disable HTTP fallback for SIP connection: Enabled. Network: Verify HTTPS (port 443) allowed (firewall).

Compliance

BIO 13.01 (Encryption in transit), ISO 27001 A.10.1.1, NIST CSF PR.DS-2.

Monitoring

Gebruik PowerShell-script http-fallback-disabled.ps1 (functie Invoke-Monitoring) – Controleren.

Remediatie

Gebruik PowerShell-script http-fallback-disabled.ps1 (functie Invoke-Remediation) – Herstellen.

Compliance & Frameworks

Automation

Gebruik het onderstaande PowerShell script om deze security control te monitoren en te implementeren. Het script bevat functies voor zowel monitoring (-Monitoring) als remediation (-Remediation).

PowerShell
<# .SYNOPSIS Schakelt HTTP fallback voor SIP verbinding uit in Lync .DESCRIPTION Dit script implementeert CIS control O365-LY-000002 voor het uitschakelen van HTTP fallback voor SIP verbindingen in Microsoft Lync. Dit dwingt het gebruik van veiligere TLS/HTTPS verbindingen en voorkomt downgrade naar onveilig HTTP. .REQUIREMENTS - PowerShell 5.1 of hoger - Lokale administrator rechten voor registry wijzigingen - Microsoft Lync geΓ―nstalleerd .PARAMETER Monitoring Controleert de huidige compliance status .PARAMETER Remediation Past de aanbevolen configuratie toe .PARAMETER Revert Herstelt de originele configuratie .PARAMETER WhatIf Toont wat er zou gebeuren zonder wijzigingen door te voeren .EXAMPLE .\http-fallback-disabled.ps1 -Monitoring Controleert of HTTP fallback is uitgeschakeld .EXAMPLE .\http-fallback-disabled.ps1 -Remediation Schakelt HTTP fallback uit voor SIP verbindingen .NOTES Registry pad: HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Lync Waarde: DisableHttpFallback = 1 CIS Control: O365-LY-000002 DISA STIG: Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus v3r3 #> #Requires -Version 5.1 param( [switch]$Monitoring, [switch]$Remediation, [switch]$Revert, [switch]$WhatIf ) # Globale variabelen $RegistryPath = "HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Lync" $ValueName = "DisableHttpFallback" $ExpectedValue = 1 $ControlID = "O365-LY-000002" function Test-Compliance { try { if (-not (Test-Path $RegistryPath)) { return $false } $currentValue = Get-ItemProperty -Path $RegistryPath -Name $ValueName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue return ($currentValue -and $currentValue.$ValueName -eq $ExpectedValue) } catch { return $false } } function Invoke-Monitoring { Write-Host "Monitoring ${ControlID}: HTTP fallback voor SIP verbinding uitschakelen" -ForegroundColor Green try { if (-not (Test-Path $RegistryPath)) { Write-Host "βœ— Registry pad bestaat niet: $RegistryPath" -ForegroundColor Red return $false } $currentValue = Get-ItemProperty -Path $RegistryPath -Name $ValueName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue if ($currentValue -and $currentValue.$ValueName -eq $ExpectedValue) { Write-Host "βœ“ Control compliant: ${ValueName} = $ExpectedValue" -ForegroundColor Green return $true } else { $actualValue = if ($currentValue) { $currentValue.$ValueName } else { "Not Set" } Write-Host "βœ— Control non-compliant: ${ValueName} = $actualValue (Expected: $ExpectedValue)" -ForegroundColor Red return $false } } catch { Write-Host "βœ— Fout bij controleren registry instelling: $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red return $false } } function Invoke-Remediation { Write-Host "Remediating ${ControlID}: HTTP fallback voor SIP verbinding uitschakelen" -ForegroundColor Yellow try { if ($WhatIf) { Write-Host "WhatIf: Zou registry waarde instellen: ${ValueName} = $ExpectedValue" -ForegroundColor Cyan return $true } if (-not (Test-Path $RegistryPath)) { Write-Host "Registry pad aanmaken: $RegistryPath" -ForegroundColor Yellow New-Item -Path $RegistryPath -Force | Out-Null } Set-ItemProperty -Path $RegistryPath -Name $ValueName -Value $ExpectedValue -Type DWord -Force Write-Host "βœ“ Registry waarde succesvol ingesteld: ${ValueName} = $ExpectedValue" -ForegroundColor Green Start-Sleep -Seconds 1 return Invoke-Monitoring } catch { Write-Host "βœ— Fout bij configureren registry instelling: $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red return $false } } function Invoke-Revert { Write-Host "Reverting ${ControlID}: HTTP fallback instelling herstellen" -ForegroundColor Yellow try { if ($WhatIf) { Write-Host "WhatIf: Zou registry waarde verwijderen: ${ValueName}" -ForegroundColor Cyan return $true } if (Test-Path $RegistryPath) { Remove-ItemProperty -Path $RegistryPath -Name $ValueName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue Write-Host "βœ“ Registry waarde verwijderd: ${ValueName}" -ForegroundColor Green } return $true } catch { Write-Host "βœ— Fout bij herstellen registry instelling: $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red return $false } } # Hoofd uitvoering try { if ($Monitoring) { $result = Invoke-Monitoring exit $(if ($result) { 0 } else { 1 }) } elseif ($Remediation) { $result = Invoke-Remediation exit $(if ($result) { 0 } else { 1 }) } elseif ($Revert) { $result = Invoke-Revert exit $(if ($result) { 0 } else { 1 }) } else { Write-Host "Gebruik: .\http-fallback-disabled.ps1 [-Monitoring] [-Remediation] [-Revert] [-WhatIf]" -ForegroundColor Yellow Write-Host " -Monitoring: Controleer huidige compliance status" -ForegroundColor White Write-Host " -Remediation: Pas aanbevolen configuratie toe" -ForegroundColor White Write-Host " -Revert: Herstel originele configuratie" -ForegroundColor White Write-Host " -WhatIf: Toon wat er zou gebeuren" -ForegroundColor White } } catch { Write-Host "βœ— Onverwachte fout: $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red exit 1 }

Risico zonder implementatie

Risico zonder implementatie
High: Hoog: HTTP fallback = credentials/messages in cleartext (MITM risk).

Management Samenvatting

Disable Lync HTTP fallback. HTTPS/TLS only. No cleartext communication. Legacy (Teams = modern). Implementatie: 1-2 uur.
