Vulnerability discussion

To secure CDs and DVDs, do not allow the computer to perform automatic actions when the user inserts a disc. When disabling automatic actions in System Preferences, these actions must be disabled for every user account on the computer.

Check content

Open System Preferences - > CDs and DVDs. Ensure "When you insert a picture CD" is set to "Ignore". If the option is not set to "Ignore", this is a finding.

Fix text

Open System Preferences - > CDs and DVDs. Set "When you insert a picture CD" to "Ignore".

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.
