AOSX-13-000100 - The macOS system must be configured with automatic actions disabled for picture CDs.

Information

Applications should not be configured to launch automatically when a disk is inserted. This potentially circumvents anti-virus software and allows malicious users to craft disks that can exploit user applications. Disabling Automatic Actions for picture CDs mitigates this risk.

Solution

This setting is enforced using the 'Custom Policy' configuration profile.
