AIOS-17-003450 - Apple iOS/iPadOS 17 must not allow backup to remote systems (Cloud Photo Library).

Information

If a user is able to configure the security setting, the user could inadvertently or maliciously set it to a value that poses unacceptable risk to DOD information systems. An adversary could exploit vulnerabilities created by the weaker configuration to compromise DOD sensitive information.

SFR ID: FMT_MOF_EXT.1.2 #40

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Install a configuration profile to disable Cloud Photo Library.

This requirement will become 'Supervised only' in a future iOS/iPadOS release.
