Title
Windows Server 2025 Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service must not store RunAs credentials.
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\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WinRM\Service\ Value Name: DisableRunAs Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0x00000001 (1)
Discussion
Storage of administrative credentials could allow unauthorized access. Disallowing the storage of RunAs credentials for WinRM will prevent them from being used with plug-ins. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000373-GPOS-00156, SRG-OS-000373-GPOS-00157
