Autoplay must be turned off for non-volume devices.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-21973 WN12-CC-000072 SV-53126r2_rule High
Description
Allowing Autoplay to execute may introduce malicious code to a system. Autoplay begins reading from a drive as soon as media is inserted into the drive. As a result, the setup file of programs or music on audio media may start. This setting will disable Autoplay for non-volume devices (such as Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) devices).
