Title
Automatic actions must be disabled for picture CDs. (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 picture CDs mitigates this risk.
Check Content
To check if the system has the correct setting for picture CDs in the configuration profile, run the following command: system_profiler SPConfigurationProfileDataType | grep -A 2 'com.apple.digihub.cd.picture.appeared' If this is not defined or 'action' is not set to '1', this is a finding.
Fix Text
This setting is enforced using a configuration profile.
