Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language: MacOS System Characteristics¶
- Schema: MacOS System Characteristics
- Version: 5.11.1:1.2
- Release Date: 11/30/2016 09:00:00 AM
The following is a description of the elements, types, and attributes that compose the MacOS specific system characteristic items found in Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL). Each item is an extension of the standard test element defined in the Core Definition Schema. Through extension, each test inherits a set of elements and attributes that are shared amongst all OVAL tests. Each test is described in detail and should provide the information necessary to understand what each element and attribute represents. This document is intended for developers and assumes some familiarity with XML. A high level description of the interaction between the different tests and their relationship to the Core Definition Schema is not outlined here.
The MacOS System Characteristics Schema was initially developed by The Center for Internet Security. Many thanks to their contributions to OVAL and the security community.
The OVAL Schema is maintained by the OVAL Community. For more information, including how to get involved in the project and how to submit change requests, please visit the OVAL website at http://oval.cisecurity.org.

< inetlisteningserver_item > (Deprecated)¶
Deprecation Info¶
- Deprecated As Of Version 5.10
- Reason: The inetlisteningserver_item has been deprecated and replaced by the inetlisteningserver510_item. The name of an application cannot be used to uniquely identify an application that is listening on the network. As a result, the inetlisteningserver510_object utilizes the protocol, local_address, and local_port entities to uniquely identify an application listening on the network. Please see the inetlisteningserver510_item for additional information.
An inet listening server item stores the results of checking for network servers currently active on a system.

< plist_item > (Deprecated)¶
Deprecation Info¶
- Deprecated As Of Version 5.11.2:1.0
- Reason: The plist_item has been deprecated and replaced by the plist511_item. The plist_item cannot express the context hierarchy required to differentiate between nodes with identical names. As a result, it is not possible to address a particular node when the order of their parent nodes is indeterminate. The plist511_item was added to address this deficiency. See the plist511_item.
The plist_item holds information about an individual property list preference key found on a system. Each plist_item contains a preference key, application identifier or filepath, type, as well as the preference key’s value. It extends the standard ItemType as defined in the oval-system-characteristics schema and one should refer to the ItemType description for more information.
Extends: oval-sc:ItemType
Child Elements¶
| Child Elements | Type (MinOccurs..MaxOccurs) | Desc. |
|---|---|---|
| key | oval-sc:EntityItemStringType (0..1) | The preference key to check. |
| app_id | oval-sc:EntityItemStringType (0..1) | The unique application identifier that specifies the application to use when looking up the preference key (e.g. com.apple.Safari). |
| filepath | oval-sc:EntityItemStringType (0..1) | The absolute path to a plist file (e.g. ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist). |
| instance | oval-sc:EntityItemIntType (0..1) | The instance of the preference key found in the plist. The first instance of a matching preference key is given the instance value of 1, the second instance of a matching preference key is given the instance value of 2, and so on. Instance values must be assigned using a depth-first approach. Note that the main purpose of this entity is to provide uniqueness for the different plist_items that result from multiple instances of a given preference key in the same plist file. |
| type | macos-sc:EntityItemPlistTypeType (0..1) | The type of the preference key. |
| value | oval-sc:EntityItemAnySimpleType (0..unbounded) | The value of the preference key. |
< plist511_item >¶
The plist511_item stores results from checking the contents of the XML representation of a plist file. It extends the standard ItemType as defined in the oval-system-characteristics schema and one should refer to the ItemType description for more information.
Extends: oval-sc:ItemType
Child Elements¶
| Child Elements | Type (MinOccurs..MaxOccurs) | Desc. |
|---|---|---|
| app_id | oval-sc:EntityItemStringType (0..1) | The unique application identifier that specifies the application to use when looking up the preference key (e.g. com.apple.Safari). |
| filepath | oval-sc:EntityItemStringType (0..1) | The absolute path to a plist file (e.g. /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist). |
| xpath | oval-sc:EntityItemStringType (0..1) | Specifies an XPath 1.0 expression to evaluate against the XML representation of the plist file specified by the filename or app_id entity. This XPath 1.0 expression must evaluate to a list of zero or more text values which will be accessible in OVAL via instances of the value_of entity. Any results from evaluating the XPath 1.0 expression other than a list of text strings (e.g., a nodes set) is considered an error. The intention is that the text values be drawn from instances of a single, uniquely named element or attribute. However, an OVAL interpreter is not required to verify this, so the author should define the XPath expression carefully. Note that “equals” is the only valid operator for the xpath entity. |
| value_of | oval-sc:EntityItemAnySimpleType (0..unbounded) | The value_of element checks the value(s) of the text node(s) or attribute(s) found. How this is used is entirely controlled by operator attributes. |
< pwpolicy_item > (Deprecated)¶
Deprecation Info¶
- Deprecated As Of Version 5.9
- Reason: Replaced by the pwpolicy59_item. The username, userpass, and directory_node entities in the pwpolicy_item were underspecified and as a result their meaning was uncertain. A new item was created to resolve this issue. See the pwpolicy59_item.
- Comment: This item has been deprecated and may be removed in a future version of the language.
Output of ‘pwpolicy -getpolicy’. Please see the ‘pwpolicy’ man page for additional information.

The rlimit_item contains information about the resource limits for launchd.
A resource limit is specified as a soft (current) limit and a hard (max) limit. When a soft limit is exceeded a process may receive a signal (for example, if the cpu time or file size is exceeded), but it will be allowed to con-tinue continue tinue execution until it reaches the hard limit (or modifies its resource limit).
For any ‘unlimited’ resource, the entity will have the status of ‘does not exist’.

== EntityItemDataTypeType ==¶
The EntityItemDataTypeType complex type defines the different values that are valid for the data_type entity of a system_profiler item. These values describe the system_profiler XML data to be retrieved. The empty string is also allowed as a valid value to support an empty element that is found when a variable reference is used within the index entity. Note that when using pattern matches and variables care must be taken to ensure that the regular expression and variable values align with the enumerated values. Please note that the values identified are for the data_type entity and are not valid values for the datatype attribute.

== EntityItemPermissionCompareType ==¶
The EntityItemPermissionCompareType complex type restricts a string value to more, less, or same which specifies if an actual permission is different than the expected permission (more or less restrictive) or if the permission is the same. The empty string is also allowed to support empty elements associated with error conditions.
Restricts: oval-sc:EntityItemStringType
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| more | The actual permission is more restrictive than the expected permission.

== EntityItemPlistTypeType == (Deprecated)¶
Deprecation Info¶
- Deprecated As Of Version 5.11.2:1.0
- Reason: Used only by the deprecated plist_item.
- Comment: This enumeration has been deprecated and may be removed in a future version of the language.
The EntityItemPlistTypeType complex type restricts a string value to the seven values CFString, CFNumber, CFBoolean, CFDate, CFData, CFArray, and CFDictionary that specify the type of the value associated with a property list preference key. The empty string is also allowed to support empty elements associated with error conditions.
Restricts: oval-sc:EntityItemStringType
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| CFString | The CFString type is used to describe a preference key that has a string value. The OVAL string datatype should be used to represent CFString values.
|
| CFNumber | The CFNumber type is used to describe a preference key that has a integer or float value. The OVAL int and float datatypes should be used, as appropriate, to represent CFNumber values.
|
| CFBoolean | The CFBoolean type is used to describe a preference key that has a boolean value. The OVAL boolean datatype should be used to represent CFBoolean values.
|
| CFDate | The CFDate type is used to describe a preference key that has a date value. The OVAL string datatype should be used to represent CFDate values.
|
| CFData | The CFData type is used to describe a preference key that has a base64-encoded binary value. The OVAL string datatype should be used to represent CFData values.
|
| CFArray | The CFArray type is used to describe a preference key that has a collection of values. This is represented as multiple value entities.
|
| CFDictionary | The CFDictionary type is used to describe a preference key that has a collection of key-value pairs. Note that the collection of CFDictionary values is not supported. If an attempt is made to collect a CFDictionary value, an error should be reported.
|
The empty string value is permitted here to allow for detailed error reporting.
