Hi Qin, This document was discussed today. I think that Roman plans to follow up regarding the security considerations discuss. From the discussion today, and reading the Discuss, my understanding is that Roman has two concerns that are more about the specific text than the use of the template: 1) Concerns read access to the factory-default datastore which could contain sensitive information. Perhaps read access to that datastore should default to nacm:default-deny-all? If so, then this should probably be documented in section 3, with a sentence in section 6 to explain that is how it is protected. [Qin]: Please See Jurgen and Andy's comment in this thread, I agree with Jurgen we should treat factory in the same way as running and other datastores. If any text is needed, I could add a few text in the section 6 based on the discussion in this thread: " Access to the "factory-reset" RPC operation and factory default values of all configuration data nodes within "factory-default" datastore is considered sensitive and therefore has been restricted using the "default-deny-all" access control defined in [RFC8341]. " 2) The second point is asking to expand this paragraph: The operational disruption caused by setting the config to factory default contents varies greatly depending on the implementation and current config. Such that the description also covers "Please note that a default configuration could be insecure or not have security controls enabled whereby exposing the network to compromise." [Qin]:So we will see exposing factory default configuration to the network to compromise also as one kind of operational disruption, if this is true, here is the proposed change: OLD TEXT: " The operational disruption caused by setting the config to factory default contents varies greatly depending on the implementation and current config. " NEW TEXT: " The operational disruption caused by setting the config to factory default contents or lacking appropriate security control on factory default configuration varies greatly depending on the implementation and current config. " If not, please advise. I see that you are already addressing the other comments that have been raised.
