title: "Disable Remote Apple Events"
|
|
discussion: |
|
|
If the system does not require Remote Apple Events, support for Apple Remote Events is non-essential and _MUST_ be disabled.
|
|
|
|
The information system _MUST_ be configured to provide only essential capabilities. Disabling Remote Apple Events helps prevent the unauthorized connection of devices, the unauthorized transfer of information, and unauthorized tunneling.

check: |
|
|
/bin/launchctl print-disabled system | /usr/bin/grep -c '"com.apple.AEServer" => true'
|
|
result:
|
|
integer: 1

/usr/sbin/systemsetup -setremoteappleevents off
|
|
/bin/launchctl disable system/com.apple.AEServer
|

|
|
NOTE: Systemsetup with -setremoteappleevents flag will fail unless you grant Full Disk Access to systemsetup or it's parent process. Requires UAMDM.
