Vulnerability V-224833

The default permissions are adequate when the Security Option "Network access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users" is set to "Disabled" (WN16-SO-000290). Review the permissions for the program file directories (Program Files and Program Files [x86]). Non-privileged groups such as Users or Authenticated Users must not have greater than "Read & execute" permissions. (Individual accounts must not be used to assign permissions.) If permissions are not as restrictive as the default permissions listed below, this is a finding. Viewing in File Explorer: For each folder, view the Properties. Select the "Security" tab, and the "Advanced" button. Default permissions: \Program Files and \Program Files (x86) Type - "Allow" for all Inherited from - "None" for all Principal - Access - Applies to TrustedInstaller - Full control - This folder and subfolders SYSTEM - Modify - This folder only SYSTEM - Full control - Subfolders and files only Administrators - Modify - This folder only Administrators - Full control - Subfolders and files only Users - Read & execute - This folder, subfolders and files CREATOR OWNER - Full control - Subfolders and files only ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES - Read & execute - This folder, subfolders, and files ALL RESTRICTED APPLICATION PACKAGES - Read & execute - This folder, subfolders, and files Alternately, use icacls: Open a Command prompt (admin).
