Description
Resource mapping is the process of tying a particular file type to a process in the web server that can serve that type of file to a requesting client and to identify which file types are not to be delivered to a client. By not specifying which files can and which files cannot be served to a user, VAMI could deliver sensitive files.

ℹ️ Check
At the command prompt, run the following command: # grep "url.access-deny" /var/lib/vmware/cap-lighttpd/lighttpd.conf Example result: url.access-deny = ( "~", ".inc" ) If "url.access-deny" is not set to "( "~", ".inc" )", this is a finding. Note: The command must be run from a bash shell and not from a shell generated by the "appliance shell". Use the "chsh" command to change the shell for the account to "/bin/bash".
