Assessment Title
Rule Text
The Tanium application must prohibit user installation, modification, or deletion of software without explicit privileged status.
Description
Discussion Text
Allowing regular users to install, modify, or delete software, without explicit privileges, creates the risk that the application performs in an inconsistent manner from its design. Explicit privileges (escalated or administrative privileges) provide the regular user with explicit capabilities and control that exceeds the rights of a regular user.
Application functionality will vary, and while users are not permitted to install unapproved applications, there may be instances where the organization allows the user to install approved software packages such as from an approved software repository.
The application must enforce software installation by users based upon what types of software installations are permitted (e.g., updates and security patches to existing software) and what types of installations are prohibited (e.g., software whose pedigree with regard to being potentially malicious is unknown or suspect) by the organization.
