TMA-CHROME-2.8.3
Ensure 'Configure the required domain names for remote access clients' is set to 'Enabled' with a domain defined
Description
Chrome allows the configuration of a list of domains that are allowed to access the user's system. When enabled, remote systems can only connect if they are one of the specified domains listed. Setting this to an empty list (Disabled) allows remote systems from any domain to connect to this user's system. Rationale: Remote assistance connections shall be restricted. The benchmark marks this recommendation Manual (organisation-specific value or not reliably checkable), so it is reported as SKIP with review steps.
