ℹ️ Check
Query the CA VM:Secure Product rules. If there are product rules granting access to the disk on which the product "CONFIG" file resides for system administrators only, this is not a finding.

✔️ Fix
Create rules in the CA VM:Secure product Rules Facility that restricts access to the disk where the product "CONFIG" file resides to system administrators only.
