The system must not provide root/administrator level access to CIM-based hardware monitoring tools or other 3rd party applications.
Description
Discussion Text
The CIM system provides an interface that enables hardware-level management from remote applications via a set of standard APIs. Create a limited-privilege, read-only service account for CIM. Place the CIM account into the "root" group. When/where write access is required, create/enable a limited-privilege, service account and grant only the minimum required privileges. CIM accounts should be limited to the "Host >> Config >> System Management" and "Host >> CIM >> CIMInteraction" privileges.
