The macOS built-in Safari.app bookmark synchronization via the iCloud
service must be disabled.
Apple's iCloud service does not provide an organization with enough control over the storage and access
of data and, therefore, automated bookmark synchronization must be controlled by an organization
approved service.
Configure the macOS system to disable iCloud Bookmarks by installing
the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
Verify the macOS system is configured to disable iCloud Bookmarks with the following
command:
/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowCloudBookmarks').js
EOS
If the result is not "false", this is a finding.
