Support for NFS services is nonessential and, therefore, must be disabled. Enabling any service increases the attack surface for an intruder. By disabling unnecessary services, the attack surface is minimized.

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable NFS service with the following commands:

isDisabled=$(/sbin/nfsd status | /usr/bin/awk '/nfsd service/ {print $NF}')    
  if [[ "$isDisabled" == "disabled" ]] && [[ -z $(/usr/bin/pgrep nfsd) ]]; then
    echo "pass"
  else
    echo "fail"
  fi

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