Discussion

AirDrop must be disabled to prevent file transfers to or from unauthorized devices. AirDrop allows users to share and receive files from other nearby Apple devices. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000080-GPOS-00048, SRG-OS-000095-GPOS-00049, SRG-OS-000300-GPOS-00118

Check Content

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable AirDrop with the following command:

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowAirDrop').js
EOS

If the result is not "false", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the macOS system to disable AirDrop by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
