Check

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable AirDrop with the following command:

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

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

Fix

Configure the macOS system to disable AirDrop by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
