Information

Non-system-created file shares on a system must limit access to groups that require it.

GROUP ID: V-253267
RULE ID: SV-253267r1137695

Shares which provide network access, must not exist on a workstation except for system-created administrative shares, and could potentially expose sensitive information. If a share is necessary, share permissions, as well as NTFS permissions, must be reconfigured to give the minimum access to those accounts that require it.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

If a non-system-created share is required on a system, configure the share and NTFS permissions to limit access to the specific groups or accounts that require it.

Remove any unnecessary non-system-created shares.
