Directory indexing must be disabled on directories not containing index files.

Directory options directives are directives that can be applied to further restrict access to file and directories. If a URL which maps to a directory is requested, and there is no DirectoryIndex (e.g., index.html) in that directory, then mod_autoindex will return a formatted listing of the directory which is not acceptable.

To view the Indexes value enter the following command:

grep "Indexes" /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf.

Review all uncommented Options statements for the following value: -Indexes

If the value is found on the Options statement, and it does not have a preceding ‘-‘, this is a finding.

Notes: - If the value does NOT exist, this is a finding. - If all enabled Options statement are set to None this is not a finding.

Edit the httpd.conf file and add an "-" to the Indexes setting, or set the options directive to None.
