Check for Presence of User .forward Files

MoyenneNiveau 1Automatiséesolaris

Description

The .forward file specifies an email address to which a user's mail is forwarded. Use of the .forward file poses a security risk in that sensitive data may be inadvertently transferred outside the organization. The .forward file also poses a secondary risk as it can be used to execute commands that may perform unintended actions. Audit: automated read-only check derived from the CIS audit procedure; it prints "compliant" when the control is met.
