Assessment Title

Rule Text

The OS X system must be configured with automatic actions disabled for blank DVDs.

Description

Discussion Text

Applications should not be configured to launch automatically when a disk is inserted. This potentially circumvents anti-virus software and allows malicious users to craft disks that can exploit user applications. Disabling Automatic Actions for blank DVDs mitigates this risk.

If an approved HBSS DCM/DLP solution is installed, this is not applicable.

To check if the system has the correct setting for blank DVDs in the configuration profile, run the following command:

/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPConfigurationProfileDataType | /usr/bin/grep -A 2 'com.apple.digihub.blank.dvd.appeared'

If this is not defined or "action" is not set to "1", this is a finding.
