Fix Recommendation

Locate any cgi-bin files and directories enabled in the Apache configuration via Script, ScriptAlias or other Script* directives.

Remove the printenv default CGI in cgi-bin directory if it is installed.

rm $APACHE_PREFIX/cgi-bin/printenv.

Remove the test-cgi file from the cgi-bin directory if it is installed.

rm $APACHE_PREFIX/cgi-bin/test-cgi.

Review and remove any other cgi-bin files which are not needed for business purposes.

Check Contents

Search for the unnecessary CGI programs which may be found in the directories configured with ScriptAlias, Script or other Script* directives. Often, CGI directories are named cgi-bin. Also, CGI AddHandler or SetHandler directives may also be in use for specific handlers such as perl, python and PHP.

To search the http.conf file for Options enter the following command:

grep "Options" /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf.
For every instance of “Options” in the httpd.conf file other than where CGI files are specifically located, the “ExecCGI” must be explicitly disabled (-ExecCGI).

If the value for Options is not returned with a “-ExecCGI” , this is a finding.
