Tanium Comply must be configured to receive OVAL feeds only from trusted sources.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

OVAL XML documents are provided from several possible sources such as the CIS open source repository, or any number of vendor/third party paid repositories. These documents are used to automate the passive validation of vulnerabilities on systems and therefore require a reasonable level of confidence in their origin. Nonapproved OVAL definitions lead to a false sense of security when evaluating an enterprise environment.
