Vulnerability discussion

Screen sharing must be disabled because it allows users of other computers to remotely view and control the computer.

Check content

Open System Preferences->Sharing. Ensure "Screen Sharing" service does not have the "On" box checked. If the box is checked, this is a finding.

Fix text

Open System Preferences->Sharing. Uncheck the "On" box for "Screen Sharing" service.

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.
