Discussion

The ability to submit diagnostic data to Apple must be disabled. The information system must be configured to provide only essential capabilities. Disabling the submission of diagnostic and usage information will mitigate the risk of unwanted data being sent to Apple. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000205-GPOS-00083, SRG-OS-000206-GPOS-00084

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable sending diagnostic and usage data to Apple with the following command:

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
function run() {
let pref1 = $.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.SubmitDiagInfo')\
.objectForKey('AutoSubmit').js
let pref2 = $.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowDiagnosticSubmission').js
if ( pref1 == false && pref2 == false ){
    return("true")
} else {
    return("false")
}
}
EOS

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