The macOS system must be configured with automatic actions disabled for music CDs.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-81493 AOSX-13-000095 SV-96207r1_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 music CDs mitigates this risk.
