Guest access must be disabled. Turning off guest access prevents anonymous users from accessing files.
Verify the macOS system is configured to disable the guest account with the following command:
/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
function run() {
let pref1 = ObjC.unwrap($.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.MCX')\
.objectForKey('DisableGuestAccount'))
let pref2 = ObjC.unwrap($.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.MCX')\
.objectForKey('EnableGuestAccount'))
if ( pref1 == true && pref2 == false ) {
return("true")
} else {
return("false")
}
}
EOS
If the result is not "true", this is a finding.Configure the macOS system to disable the guest account by installing the "com.apple.MCX" configuration profile.
