Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Sharing of the web server directory where the executables are stored is a security risk when a web server is involved. Users that have access to the share may not be administrative users. These users could make changes to the web server without going through proper change control or the users could inadvertently delete executables that are key to the proper operation of the web server. Any unnecessary exposure increases the risk that someone could exploit that access and either compromises the web server or cause web server performance problems.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
