Details

Check Text (C-269361r1050244_chk)

Verify the operating system is not configured to bypass password requirements for privilege escalation with the following command: $ grep pam_succeed_if /etc/pam.d/sudo If any occurrences of "pam_succeed_if" are returned, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-73293r1048460_fix)

Configure the operating system to require users to supply a password for privilege escalation. Remove any occurrences of " pam_succeed_if " in the "/etc/pam.d/sudo" file.
