The TFTP daemon must operate in "secure mode" which provides access only to a single directory on the host file system.
Overview
| Finding ID | Version | Rule ID | IA Controls | Severity |

| Description |
|---|
| Secure mode limits TFTP requests to a specific directory. If TFTP is not running in secure mode, it may be able to write to any file or directory and may seriously impair system integrity, confidentiality, and availability. Applicable, but permanent not-a-finding - no ftp. |
