Discussion

Inappropriate granting of user rights can provide system, administrative, and other high level capabilities.

Accounts with the "Profile single process" user right can monitor non-system processes performance. An attacker could potentially use this to identify processes to attack.

Check

Verify the effective setting in Local Group Policy Editor. Run "gpedit.msc".

Navigate to Local Computer Policy >> Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Local Policies >> User Rights Assignment.

If any groups or accounts other than the following are granted the "Profile single process" user right, this is a finding:

Administrators

Fix

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Local Policies >> User Rights Assignment >> "Profile single process" to only include the following groups or accounts:

Administrators
