Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-67507 AOSX-11-000100 SV-81997r1_rule Medium
Description
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.
