Vulnerability Discussion

When this policy setting is enabled, the operating system generates audit events when a process fails to start and the name of the program or user that created it.

These audit events can assist in understanding how a computer is being used and tracking user activity.

Check

Ensure Audit Process Creation auditing has been enabled:

Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Advanced Audit Policy Configuration >>System Audit Policies >> Detailed Tracking >> Audit Process Creation".

If "Audit Process Creation" is not set to "Failure", this is a finding.

Fix

Go to Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Advanced Audit Policy Configuration >>System Audit Policies >> Detailed Tracking >> Audit Process Creation is set to "failure".
