Ensure 'Allow Basic authentication for HTTP' is set to 'Disabled'

HochStufe 1Automatisiertedge

Beschreibung

This policy setting determines if Basic authentication receives challenges over non- secure HTTP. Basic authentication is a non-secure authentication method that relies on sending the username and password to the server in plaintext. The recommended state for this setting is: Disabled. Rationale: Basic authentication is less robust than other authentication methods available because credentials including passwords are transmitted in plain text. An attacker who can capture these credentials in plain text can gain access to the system. Audit reads the Group Policy registry value and prints 'compliant', 'unset' (policy not configured, reported as FAIL) or the non-compliant value. Registry value: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge:BasicAuthOverHttpEnabled (REG_DWORD); compliant when it is 0. Remediation writes 0 locally; in a domain set it through the ADMX so Group Policy does not revert it.

$v = (Get-ItemProperty -Path 'Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge' -Name 'BasicAuthOverHttpEnabled' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).'BasicAuthOverHttpEnabled'; if ($null -eq $v) { 'unset' } elseif (($null -ne $v -and @(0) -contains [int64]$v)) { 'compliant' } else { "non-compliant: $v" }

Erwartete Ausgabe: compliant

So wird behoben
