The default autorun behavior must be configured to prevent autorun commands.

Allowing autorun commands to execute may introduce malicious code to a system. Configuring this setting prevents autorun commands from executing.

If the following registry value does not exist or is not configured as specified, this is a finding:

Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path: \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\

Value Name: NoAutorun

Value Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> AutoPlay Policies >> "Set the default behavior for AutoRun" to "Enabled:Do not execute any autorun commands".
