Non-system-created file shares on a system must limit access to groups that require it.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Shares which provide network access, must not exist on a workstation except for system-created administrative shares, and could potentially expose sensitive information. If a share is necessary, share permissions, as well as NTFS permissions, must be reconfigured to give the minimum access to those accounts that require it.
