SV-78059r2_rule Insecure logons to an SMB server must be disabled.

Vulnerability discussion

Insecure guest logons allow unauthenticated access to shared folders. Shared resources on a system must require authentication to establish proper access.

Check content

Windows 10 v1507 LTSB version does not include this setting; it is NA for those systems. If the following registry value does not exist or is not configured as specified, this is a finding. Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path: \SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\LanmanWorkstation\ Value Name: AllowInsecureGuestAuth Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0x00000000 (0)

Fix text

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Network >> Lanman Workstation >> "Enable insecure guest logons" to "Disabled".

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
