Check Text
Navigate to the System event log file.
The default location is the "%SystemRoot%\System32\winevt\Logs" folder. However, the logs may have been moved to another folder.
If the permissions for the "System.evtx" file are not as restrictive as the default permissions listed below, this is a finding.
Eventlog - Full Control
SYSTEM - Full Control
Administrators - Full Control
Fix Text
Configure the permissions on the System event log file (System.evtx) to prevent access by non-privileged accounts. The default permissions listed below satisfy this requirement:
Eventlog - Full Control
SYSTEM - Full Control
Administrators - Full Control
The default location is the "%SystemRoot%\ System32\winevt\Logs" folder.
If the location of the logs has been changed, when adding Eventlog to the permissions, it must be entered as "NT Service\Eventlog".
