Disable Web Sharing Service
Web Sharing is non-essential and must be disabled. Enabling any service increases the attack surface for an intruder. By disabling unnecessary services, the attack surface is minimized.
Parameter:
enabled/disabled
Technical Mechanism:
Web Sharing must be disabled. To check if Web Sharing is enabled, run the following command:
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'print org.apache.httpd:Disabled' /var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd/overrides.plist
If the returned value isn't 'true', this is a finding.
