Configure the application to prohibit user installation of software without explicit permission.
Review the application documentation and interview the application administrator to determine the capabilities of the application as it relates to software installation or product function extension.
Identify any software configuration change capabilities which are allowed by design and incorporated into the user interface. An example is utilizing a known software repository of tested and approved extensions, plugins or modules which can be used by application users to extend application features or functions.
If the application does not provide the ability to install software components, modules, plugins, or extensions, the requirement is not applicable.
Access the application user interface as a regular user, navigate to the application screen that provides the software installation function and attempt to install software components, modules, extensions, or plugins.
If the application utilizes an approved repository of approved software that has been tested and approved for all application users to install, this is not a finding.
If the application allows regular users to install untested or unapproved software components, extensions, modules, or plugins without explicit authorization, this is a finding.
