Prose
The Horizon Client must not allow command line credentials.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The Horizon Client has a number of command line options including authentication parameters, by default. This can include a smart card PIN, if so configured by the end user. This would normally be implemented by a script, which would mean plain text sensitive authenticators sitting on disk. Hard coding of credentials of any sort, but especially smart card PINs, must be explicitly disallowed.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
