Virtual machines must remove unnecessary serial port devices

OrtaDüzey 1Otomatikvmware

Açıklama

Removing unnecessary devices from virtual machines minimizes the attack surface and reduces potential pathways for data exfiltration or unauthorized data capture. This practice aligns with the principle of least functionality, ensuring that VMs have only the essential components required to perform their designated functions. Expected: serialN.present absent or "FALSE". The audit parses every .vmx file under /vmfs/volumes/ on the host and lists the VMs that do not comply; it passes when none are found (or no VMs exist). Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

Nasıl düzeltilir

Düzeltme yöntemi: Kılavuz veya altyapı yaması

To disconnect all serial ports from VMs, run the following PowerCLI command: # In this Example you will need to add the functions from this post: http://blogs.vmware.com/vipowershell/2012/05/working-with-vm-devices-in- powercli.html # Remove all Serial Ports attached to VMs Get-VM | Get-SerialPort | Remove-SerialPort The VM will need to be powered off for this change to take effect.
