## Description
The `nginx `processes requests ending with the slash character (‘/’) and produces a directory listing. Usually a request is passed to the `ngx\_http\_autoindex\_module` module when the `ngx\_http\_index\_module` module cannot find an index file.
## Rationale
Automated directory listings should not be enabled as it will also reveal information helpful to an attacker such as naming conventions and directory paths. Directory listings may also reveal files that were not intended to be revealed.
## Remediation
Perform the following to implement the recommended state: 1. Search the NGINX configuration files (`nginx.conf` and any included configuration files) to find `autoindex `directives. ``` grep -i '^\s*autoindex\s+' $NGINX_PREFIX/nginx.conf grep -i '^\s*autoindex\s+' $NGINX_PREFIX/conf.d/* ``` 2. Set the value for all `autoindex `directives to `off `or remove those directives.
## Audit
Perform the following to determine if the recommended state is implemented: 1. Search the NGINX configuration files (`nginx.conf` and any included configuration files) to find any `autoindex `directives: ``` grep -i '^\s*autoindex\s+' $NGINX_PREFIX/nginx.conf grep -i '^\s*autoindex\s+' $NGINX_PREFIX/conf.d/* ``` 2. Ensure there are no autoindex directives present or they values are set to off for each founded directive.
