What it checks
SCuBA GWS.COMMONCONTROLS.10.3: automatically trusting internal (domain-owned) OAuth apps grants them access without review, an insider/lateral data-access path. Reads api_controls.internal_apps; warns where trustInternalApps is on.
Recommended value
Internal apps are not automatically trusted
Remediation
In Admin console > Security > API controls, disable automatic trust of internal apps so they undergo the same review as third-party apps.
