Exch-2-019
(in version v1 r9)
Title
Local machine policy must require signed scripts. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Scripts often provide a way for attackers to infiltrate a system, especially those downloaded from untrusted locations. By setting machine policy to prevent unauthorized script executions, unanticipated system impacts can be avoided. Failure to allow only signed remote scripts reduces the attack vector vulnerabilities from unsigned remote scripts.
