1.361 RHEL-10-700890

Information

RHEL 10 must disable the graphical user interface autorunner unless required.

GROUP ID: V-281292
RULE ID: SV-281292r1166828

Automatically running applications when media is inserted allows for the easy introduction of unknown data, thereby facilitating malicious activity.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000114-GPOS-00059, SRG-OS-000378-GPOS-00163

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 GNOME to disable autorunning of removable media.

Note: The example below is using the database "local" for the system. If the system is using another database in "/etc/dconf/profile/user", the file should be created under the appropriate subdirectory.

Update the "/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-security-settings" database to disable the GUI autorun function:

$ sudo vi /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-security-settings

[org/gnome/desktop/media-handling]autorun-never=true

Update the dconf system databases:

$ sudo dconf update
