Automation Controller's log files must be accessible by explicitly defined privilege.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>A failure of the confidentiality of Automation Controller log files would enable an attacker to identify key information about the system that they might not otherwise be able to obtain that would enable them to enumerate more information to enable escalation or lateral movement.
