Title

Administrator accounts must not be enumerated during elevation.

Control

If the following registry value does not exist or is not configured as specified, this is a finding: Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path: \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\CredUI\ Value Name: EnumerateAdministrators Value Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0

Discussion

Enumeration of administrator accounts when elevating can provide part of the logon information to an unauthorized user. This setting configures the system to always require users to type in a username and password to elevate a running application.
