Vulnerability discussion

User home directories must not have extended ACLs.

Check content

To check if the Users home directory has any extended ACLs, run the following command: ls -al /Users Any of the folders that contain a "+" character in the permissions is a finding.

Fix text

To remove ACLs from a folder, run the following command: sudo chmod -R -N /Users/[username] Where [username] is the folder that contains ACLs.

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.
