If the system does not require Remote Apple Events, support for Apple Remote Events is non-essential and _MUST_ be disabled.
The information system _MUST_ be configured to provide only essential capabilities. Disabling Remote Apple Events helps prevent the unauthorized connection of devices, the unauthorized transfer of information, and unauthorized tunneling.
Fix:
/usr/sbin/systemsetup -setremoteappleevents off
/bin/launchctl disable system/com.apple.AEServer
NOTE: Systemsetup with -setremoteappleevents flag will fail unless you grant Full Disk Access to systemsetup or it's parent process. Requires UAMDM.
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
/usr/sbin/systemsetup -setremoteappleevents off
/bin/launchctl disable system/com.apple.AEServer
NOTE: Systemsetup with -setremoteappleevents flag will fail unless you grant Full Disk Access to systemsetup or it's parent process. Requires UAMDM.
