Disable CGI Support
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The cgi module allows HTML to interact with the CGI web programming language.
If this functionality is unnecessary, comment out the module:
#LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.soIf the web server requires the use of CGI, enable
mod_cgi.
Rationale
Minimizing the number of loadable modules available to the web server reduces risk by limiting the capabilities allowed by the web server.
