Title

The macOS system must disable iPhone Mirroring.

Control

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable iPhone Mirroring with the following command: /usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS $.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\ .objectForKey('allowiPhoneMirroring').js EOS If the result is not "false", this is a finding.

Discussion

iPhone Mirroring must be disabled to prevent file transfers to or from unauthorized devices. Disabling iPhone Mirroring also prevents potentially unauthorized applications from appearing as if they are installed on the Mac.
