TMA-ESXI9-3.2
Host must deactivate the ESXi shell
Description
The ESXi shell is an interactive command line environment available from the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) or remotely via SSH. Activities performed from the ESXi Shell bypass all access controls, but are logged. The recommended setting for the ESXi shell is to be stopped and only started manually when needed, such as when running diagnostics or troubleshooting. The audit parses vim-cmd hostsvc/hostconfig for the TSM (ESXi Shell) service and requires startup policy "off" and the service not running. Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

Méthode d'audit: Commande shell
out=$(vim-cmd hostsvc/hostconfig 2>/dev/null) || exit 1
p=$(printf '%s\n' "$out" | awk '/key = "TSM"/{f=1} f && $1=="policy" {v=$3; gsub(/[",]/, "", v); print v; exit}')
r=$(printf '%s\n' "$out" | awk '/key = "TSM"/{f=1} f && $1=="running" {v=$3; gsub(/[",]/, "", v); print v; exit}')
[ -n "$p" ] || { echo 'TSM: service not found in hostconfig'; exit 1; }
if [ "$p" = off ] && [ "$r" != true ]; then echo compliant; else echo "TSM: policy=$p running=$r"; fi- Sortie attendue

To disable the ESXi shell, perform the following: 1. From the vSphere Web Client, select the host. 2. Select Configure then expand System and select Services. 3. Click on ESXi Shell then click Edit Startup Policy. 4. Set the Startup Policy is set to Start and Stop Manually. 5. Click on OK.
