Ensure administrator approval is required for every installed application
Description
Ensure an administrator approval is required when installing applications. Applications are typically automated integrations that improve the workflow of an organization. They are written by third-party developers, and therefore should be validated before using in case they're malicious or not trustable. Because administrators are expected to be the most qualified and trusted members of the organization, they should review the applications being installed and decide whether they are both trusted and necessary.
How it is checked
Audit method: Manual review
This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
Verify that applications are installed only after receiving administrator approval: You are compliant by default. That is because by default only maintainers and owners can integrate with external applications. For OAuth Apps, perform the following: - On the left sidebar, select your avatar. - Select Edit profile and then select Applications. - See the Authorized applications section. - Review the scope level for the authorised applications with your credentials
How it is fixed
