Check: AOSX-13-000090
Apple OS X 10.13 STIG:
AOSX-13-000090
(in versions v2 r5 through v1 r1)
Title
The macOS system must be configured with automatic actions disabled for blank DVDs. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Applications should not be configured to launch automatically when a disk is inserted. This potentially circumvents anti-virus software and allows malicious users to craft disks that can exploit user applications. Disabling Automatic Actions for blank DVDs mitigates this risk.
Check Content
If an approved HBSS DCM/DLP solution is installed, this is not applicable. To check if the system has the correct setting for blank DVDs in the configuration profile, run the following command: /usr/sbin/system_profiler SPConfigurationProfileDataType | /usr/bin/grep -A 2 'com.apple.digihub.blank.dvd.appeared' If this is not defined or "action" is not set to "1", this is a finding.
Fix Text
This setting is enforced using the "Custom Policy" configuration profile.
