Title

The Secondary Logon service must be disabled on Windows 11.

Control

Run "Services.msc". Locate the "Secondary Logon" service. If the "Startup Type" is not "Disabled" or the "Status" is "Running", this is a finding.

Discussion

The Secondary Logon service provides a means for entering alternate credentials, typically used to run commands with elevated privileges. Using privileged credentials in a standard user session can expose those credentials to theft.
