Vulnerability Discussion

The prompt for TouchID during Setup Assistant must be disabled.

macOS prompts new users through enabling TouchID during Setup Assistant; this is not essential, and
therefore must be disabled to prevent against the risk of individuals electing to enable TouchID to
override organizationwide settings.

Check

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable TouchID prompt during Setup Assistant
with the following command:

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

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

Fix

Configure the macOS system to disable TouchID prompt during Setup
Assistant by installing the "com.apple.SetupAssistant.managed" configuration profile.
