Vulnerability Discussion
Bluetooth Sharing must be disabled.
Bluetooth Sharing allows users to wirelessly transmit files between the macOS and Bluetooth-enabled
devices, including personally owned cellphones and tablets. A malicious user might introduce viruses or
malware onto the system or extract sensitive files via Bluetooth Sharing. When Bluetooth Sharing is
disabled, this risk is mitigated.
[NOTE]
====
The check and fix are for the currently logged on user. To get the currently logged on user, run the
following.
[source,bash]
----
CURRENT_USER=$( /usr/sbin/scutil <<< "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | /usr/bin/awk '/Name :/
&& ! /loginwindow/ { print $3 }' )

Check
Verify the macOS system is configured to disable Bluetooth sharing with the following
command:
/usr/bin/sudo -u "$CURRENT_USER" /usr/bin/defaults -currentHost read com.apple.Bluetooth
PrefKeyServicesEnabled
If the result is not "0", this is a finding.
Fix
Configure the macOS system to disable Bluetooth sharing with the
following command:
/usr/bin/sudo -u "$CURRENT_USER" /usr/bin/defaults -currentHost write com.apple.Bluetooth
PrefKeyServicesEnabled -bool false
