External connections & transmission security

A webhook registered without any authentication

Severity Medium

What it is

Webhook sends outbound calls with no authentication.

Why it matters

A webhook with no key or header cannot prove its calls are genuine, so anyone who learns the URL can post traffic that looks authentic.

Find it yourself

Check the authentication configuration on each registered webhook. Ones with no key and no authentication header are the finding. Worth pairing with a check at the receiving end, since a receiver that does not validate the header is the same exposure from the other side.

How to fix it

Add a header-based secret and require it at the receiver; rotate it periodically.

These mappings are indicative. Pathix detects a condition relevant to a control. It does not certify your compliance, and a finding is not an audit opinion. You stay responsible for your control environment.

CMMC relevance

CMMC SC.L2-3.13.8

This condition produces evidence for SC.L2-3.13.8 (Level 2: use cryptographic mechanisms to prevent disclosure of CUI in transmission), for the Dataverse system in your assessment scope. 3.13.8 governs what protects data in transit. With no authentication on the endpoint, nothing establishes who is at the other end of the transmission, so the channel itself is the entire control.

Pathix is not a CMMC compliance platform. It does not assess the rest of your environment, mappings are indicative, and assessment outcomes rest with your assessor.

Pathix checks this across every environment you scan, along with 71 other conditions. Self-hosted in your own Azure, read-only, metadata-only.
