Description
The Solidcore client can be configured locally at the CLI, but only when accessed with the required password. Since the Trellix Application Control configuration is to be managed by ePO policies, allowing enablement of the CLI to would introduce the capability of local configuration changes. Strict management of the accessibility of the CLI is necessary in order to prevent its misuse. The misuse of the CLI would open the system up to the possible configuration changes potentially allowing malicious applications to execute unknowingly.

ℹ️ Check
Note: The CLI Access is in lockdown mode by default when being managed by ePO. Since the CLI Access can be recovered for troubleshooting, this requirement needs to be met. Consult with the information system security officer (ISSO)/information system security manager (ISSM) to obtain a copy of the organization's documented policy for application whitelisting. The policy must contain procedures for accessing the CLI password, to include the system administrator (SA) gaining access to an approved safe in order for obtaining the password. If a procedure does not exist for accessing the CLI password as described above, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix
Follow the formal change and acceptance process to update the written policy to include procedures for accessing the CLI password and how the SA gains access to an approved safe in order for obtaining the password.
