Windows: RSOP Security Setting Boolean

Description

The Windows: RSOP Security Setting Boolean test is used to check information accessed by WMI.

The wmi57_object element is used by a wimi57_test to define the WMI namespace to look under, and a WQL query used to identify the object(s) to test against.

The wmi57_state element specifies the metadata to check, including which WMI namespace to look under, a WQL query used to identify the object(s) to test against, and the result element specifying how to test items in the result set of the specified WQL statement.

XCCDF+AE

This is what the AE check looks like, inside a Rule, in the XCCDF.

SCAP

XCCDF

For windows.rsop.security_setting_boolean equals, equal, not equal, less than, less than or equal, greater than, and greater than or equal artifacts, an XCCDF Value element is generated:

<Value
  id="xccdf_org.cisecurity.benchmarks_value_[ARTIFACT-OVAL-ID]_var"
  type="string"
  operator="[operator.value]">
  <title>[RECOMMENDATION-TITLE]</title>
  <description>This value is used in Rule: [RECOMMENDATION-TITLE]</description>
  <value>[value.value]</value>
</Value>

For windows.rsop.security_setting_boolean equals, equal, not equal, less than, less than or equal, greater than, and greater than or equal artifacts, the XCCDF check looks like this.

<check system="http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5">
  <check-export
    export-name="oval:org.cisecurity.benchmarks.[PLATFORM]:var:[ARTIFACT-OVAL-ID]"
