FOREWORD
The Canadian Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme (CCS) provides a
third-party evaluation service for determining the trustworthiness of Information Technology
(IT) security products. Evaluations are performed by a commercial Common Criteria
Evaluation Facility (CCEF) under the oversight of the CCS Certification Body, which is
managed by the Communications Security Establishment.
A CCEF is a commercial facility that has been approved by the CCS Certification Body to
perform Common Criteria evaluations; a significant requirement for such approval is
accreditation to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005, the General Requirements for the
Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories. Accreditation is performed under the
Program for the Accreditation of Laboratories - Canada (PALCAN), administered by the
Standards Council of Canada.
The CCEF that carried out this evaluation is EWA-Canada.
By awarding a Common Criteria certificate, the CCS Certification Body asserts that the
product complies with the security requirements specified in the associated security target. A
security target is a requirements specification document that defines the scope of the
evaluation activities. The consumer of certified IT products should review the security target,
in addition to this certification report, in order to gain an understanding of any assumptions
made during the evaluation, the IT product's intended environment, the evaluated security
functionality, and the testing and analysis conducted by the CCEF.
This certification report is associated with the certificate of product evaluation dated 29 June
2015, and the security target identified in Section 4 of this report.
The certification report, certificate of product evaluation and security target are posted on the
CCS Certified Products list (CPL) and the Common Criteria portal (the official website of the
Common Criteria Project).
Reproduction of this report is authorized provided the report is reproduced in its entirety.

9 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of CyberArk PASS v9.1,
including the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the CyberArk PASS v9.1 functional specification
and design documentation; they determined that the design completely and accurately
describes the TOE security functionality (TSF) interfaces, the TSF subsystems and how the
TSF implements the security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluators analyzed the
CyberArk PASS v9.1 security architectural description and determined that the initialization
process is secure, that the security functions are protected against tamper and bypass, and that
security domains are maintained. The evaluators also independently verified that the
correspondence mappings between the design documents are correct.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the CyberArk PASS v9.1 preparative user
guidance and operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently and
unambiguously describes how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated configuration
and how to use and administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested the
preparative and operational guidance, and determined that they are complete and sufficiently
detailed to result in a secure configuration.
Life-cycle support: An analysis of the CyberArk PASS v9.1 configuration management
system and associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the
CyberArk PASS v9.1 configuration items were clearly marked.
The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of CyberArk PASS v9.1 during distribution
to the consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by developer for the
CyberArk PASS v9.1. During a site visit, the evaluators also examined the evidence
generated by adherence to the procedures. The evaluators concluded that the procedures are
adequate to track and correct security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and
corrections to consumers of the product.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.

10 ITS Product Testing
Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
10.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR1
.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete
and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification was complete.
10.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach is the
following list of test goals:
a. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests;
b. Audit Generation: The objective of this test goal is to confirm the generation of audit
records and that they cannot be deleted;
c. User Data protection: The objectives of this test goal are to confirm that communication
between separate parts of the TOE is protected, that session timeouts occur, and that
session establishment can be denied based upon time; and
d. Authentication Mechanism Bypass: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the
authentication mechanisms in place cannot be bypassed in a trivial manner.
10.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all
evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted.
The penetration tests focused on:
a. Use of automated vulnerability scanning tools to discover potential network, platform and
application layer vulnerabilities; and
b. Scanning for HEARTBLEED, POODLE, GHOST, FREAK, SHELLSHOCK.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.

The ETR is a CCS document that contains information proprietary to the developer and/or the evaluator, and
is not releasable for public review.

10.4 Conduct of Testing
CyberArk PASS v9.1 was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally documented,
independent functional and penetration tests. The detailed testing activities, including
configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed results are documented
in a separate Test Results document.
10.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
providing assurance that CyberArk PASS v9.1 behaves as specified in its ST and functional
specification.
11 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for a EAL 2+ level of assurance. The overall verdict
for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in the ETR.
