What it checks
Win32 application deployments through Intune package and distribute traditional desktop applications to managed devices. Improperly vetted applications may contain vulnerabilities, bundled malware, or excessive system modifications that weaken device security. Reviewing the Win32 app deployment catalog ensures that only approved and secure applications are distributed to the managed device fleet.
Recommended value
All Win32 apps sourced from trusted vendors with documented approval; install commands reviewed for security implications
Remediation
Review all Win32 applications deployed through Intune and verify that each application is sourced from a trusted vendor and has been approved through your software approval process. Examine the install and uninstall command lines for any suspicious parameters, script execution, or registry modifications that could weaken security. Implement an application review process that evaluates new Win32 app packages for security risks before deployment to production device groups.
Fixture-proven verdicts
Every verdict below is proven by a golden fixture in the module's gating test suite. This table derives from the last green run; it cannot be edited by hand.
| Scenario | Expected verdict |
|---|---|
| clean | PASS |
