Vulnerability discussion

Bluetooth devices must not be allowed to wake the computer. If Bluetooth is not required, turn it off. If Bluetooth is necessary, disable allowing Bluetooth devices to awake the computer.

Check content

To check if this setting is disabled run the following command as the primary user: defaults -currentHost read com.apple.Bluetooth RemoteWakeEnabled If the return value is "1", this is a finding.

Fix text

This control needs to be manually changed on the computer by opening System Preferences->Bluetooth, Click Advanced, and make sure the "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" is not checked.

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.
