Vulnerability Scan results on Dynamics 365 instance with Power Apps Portal

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Neil Kay 5

ANy thoughts on why a fresh (month ago) setup of Dynamics 365 and Power Apps portal looks to the outside world like an unpatched instance of SQL server 2014 (someone has suggested SQL Express 2014)?

A pre-flight vulnerability scan using OpenVAS, shows ports 1433 and 5558 open to the outside world

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks

    Hey Neil.

    As security is a very complicated topic, the best advise would be to open a Support Request with Microsoft.

    It would be interesting to know how the tool differentiates if it's SQL Server, SQL Express,or Azure SQL:  is the tool checking the compatibility level or using some other type of request?  According to Back up and restore environments - Power Platform | Microsoft Docs, Dynamics 365 CRM Runs on Azure SQL Database, but from the screenshot, this option is not being considered/reported.

    Regards,

    Hi All, thanks for the comments.

    It seems that this is the "Dataverse endpoint SQL connection", as per:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../dataverse-sql-query

    The overall config is as designed in the circumstances and it's just a diversion (and false positive) that Nessus sees the footprint on the port as an unpatched instance of SQL server 2014.
