Discussion

Typically, the Tanium Server stores the Package Source Files that it downloads from the Internet and server shares or files uploaded through the Tanium Console in a subdirectory of the server's installation directory called Downloads. To ensure package files are not accessible to non-authorized functions, the files must be re-located to outside of the server's installation directory.

Check Content

Access the Tanium Server interactively.

Log on with an account with administrative privileges to the server.

Run regedit as Administrator.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> Wow6432Node >> Tanium >> Tanium Server.

Validate the "DownloadPath" REG_SZ value points to a location off of the Tanium Server directory.

If the "DownloadPath" REG_SZ value does not point to a location off of the Tanium Server directory, this is a finding.
