Description

The HTML versions of PP-Modules are currently referencing themselves and their own product type in the Modified SFRs sections of the Module rather than the Base-PP and product type they are supposed to be referencing.

See for example sections 5.1 and 5.2 of https://commoncriteria.github.io/wlanclient/master/wlanclient.html. They both say "WLAN Clients PP Security Functional Requirements Direction" when one should reference the GPOS PP and the other should reference the MDF PP, like the published PDF version of the Module does (https://www.niap-ccevs.org/MMO/PP/MOD_WLANC_v1.0.pdf). Note however that the PDF version does still have an issue where it missing the product descriptor in the actual body text (see for example "...the security functions implemented by the as a whole..." rather than e.g. "...the security functions implemented by the operating system as a whole..."

The HTML versions of PP-Modules are currently referencing themselves in the Consistency Rationale sections of the Module rather than the Base-PP they are supposed to be referencing (though the body text is all correct in this case).

See for example sections 6.1 and 6.2 of of https://commoncriteria.github.io/wlanclient/master/wlanclient.html where the heading titles are wrong for the same reason, but in this case the body text is correct.

Research direction

Compare sections 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, and 6.2 of the HTML WLAN Clients PP-Module with the published PDF, then trace the XSLT transforms that generate those headings and body text. Done means the HTML references the appropriate Base-PP and product descriptor, including in the Modified SFRs text, while the Consistency Rationale headings match their body text.
