ESX Agent Manager directory tree must have permissions in an out-of-the-box state.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>As a rule, accounts on a web server are to be kept to a minimum. Only administrators, web managers, developers, auditors, and web authors require accounts on the machine hosting the web server. The resources to which these accounts have access must also be closely monitored and controlled. ESX Agent Manager files must be adequately protected with correct permissions as applied out of the box.
