Part of Remotely Accessible Registry Paths and Sub-Paths
Associated with: CCI-001090
The registry is a database for computer configuration information, much of which is sensitive. An attacker could use this to facilitate unauthorized activities. To reduce the risk of this happening, it is also lowered by the fact that the default ACLs assigned throughout the registry are fairly restrictive and they help to protect it from access by unauthorized users.
Analyze the system using the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in. Expand the Security Configuration and Analysis tree view. Navigate to Local Policies -> Security Options. If the value for “Network access: Remotely accessible registry paths and sub-paths” contains entries besides the following, then this is a finding: Software\Microsoft\OLAP Server Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\UserConfig System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\DefaultUserConfiguration System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sysmonlog The policy referenced configures the following registry value: Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path: \System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\Winreg\AllowedPaths\ Value Name: Machine Value Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Value: As defined in policy above Note: Legitimate applications may add entries to this registry value. If an application requires these entries to function properly and is documented with the IAO, this would not be a finding. Documentation should contain supporting information from the vendor's instructions.
Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options -> “Network access: Remotely accessible registry paths and sub-paths” as specified in the Check section.
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:
