GROUP ID: V-277141
RULE ID: SV-277141r1148875

The macOS built-in Freeform.app connection to Apple's iCloud service 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 iCloud Freeform services by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
