Vulnerability Discussion

The macOS built-in Safari.app bookmark synchronization via the iCloud
service must be disabled.

Apple's iCloud service does not provide an organization with enough control over the storage and access
of data and, therefore, automated bookmark synchronization must be controlled by an organization
approved service.

Check

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable iCloud Bookmarks with the following
command:

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowCloudBookmarks').js
EOS

If the result is not "false", this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the macOS system to disable iCloud Bookmarks by installing
the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
