Exchange Local machine policy must require signed scripts.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-69751 EX13-CA-000090 SV-84373r1_rule Medium
Description
Scripts often provide a way for attackers to infiltrate a system, especially those downloaded from untrusted locations. By setting machine policy to prevent unauthorized script executions, unanticipated system impacts can be avoided. Failure to allow only signed remote scripts reduces the attack vector vulnerabilities from unsigned remote scripts.
