Check Text
Navigate to the Application 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 "Application.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 Application event log file (Application.evtx) to prevent access by nonprivileged 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".
