Assessment Title
Rule Text
The ESXi host must not provide root/administrator-level access to Common Information Model (CIM)-based hardware monitoring tools or other third-party applications.
Description
Discussion Text
The CIM system provides an interface that enables hardware-level management from remote applications via a set of standard application programming interfaces (APIs).
In environments that implement CIM hardware monitoring, create a limited-privilege, read-only service account for CIM and place this user in the Exception Users list. When CIM write access is required, create a new role with only the "Host.CIM.Interaction" permission and apply that role to the CIM service account.
