All installation files originally downloaded to the Tanium Server must be configured to download to a location other than the Tanium Server directory.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Typically, the Tanium Server stores the Package Source Files that it downloads from the Internet and server shares or files uploaded through the Tanium Console in a subdirectory of the server's installation directory called Downloads. To ensure package files are not accessible to non-authorized functions, the files must be re-located to outside of the server's installation directory.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
