Information

Windows shares are a means by which files, folders, printers, and other resources can be published for network users to access. Improper configuration can permit access to devices and data beyond a user's need.

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

Solution

Configure the permissions on shared printers to restrict standard users to only have Print permissions.
