APPL-14-005110
(in versions v1 r2 through v1 r1)
Title
The macOS system must enforce enrollment in mobile device management. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Users must enroll their Mac in a Mobile Device Management (MDM) software. User Approved MDM (UAMDM) enrollment or enrollment via Apple Business Manager (ABM)/Apple School Manager (ASM) is required to manage certain security settings. Currently these include: * Allowed Kernel Extensions * Allowed Approved System Extensions * Privacy Preferences Policy Control Payload * ExtensibleSingleSignOn * FDEFileVault In macOS 11, UAMDM grants Supervised status on a Mac, unlocking the following MDM features, which were previously locked behind ABM: * Activation Lock Bypass * Access to Bootstrap Tokens * Scheduling Software Updates * Query list and delete local users
Check Content
Verify the macOS system is configured to enforce enrollment in mobile device management with the following command: /usr/bin/profiles status -type enrollment | /usr/bin/awk -F: '/MDM enrollment/ {print $2}' | /usr/bin/grep -c "Yes (User Approved)" If the result is not "1", this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the macOS system by ensuring that system is enrolled via UAMDM.
