Information

The macOS system must disable Network File System (NFS) service.

GROUP ID: V-268479
RULE ID: SV-268479r1034377

Support for NFS services is nonessential and, therefore, must be disabled. Enabling any service increases the attack surface for an intruder. By disabling unnecessary services, the attack surface is minimized.

Solution

Configure the macOS system to disable NFS service with the following command:

/bin/launchctl disable system/com.apple.nfsd

The system may need to be restarted for the update to take effect.
