The IIS 10.0 website document directory must be in a separate partition from the IIS 10.0 websites system files.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The content database is accessed by multiple anonymous users when the web server is in production. By locating the content database on the same partition as the web server system file, the risk for unauthorized access to these protected files is increased. Additionally, having the content database path on the same drive as the system folders also increases the potential for a drive space exhaustion attack.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
