SSMC must prevent nonprivileged users from executing privileged functions to include disabling, circumventing, or altering implemented security safeguards/countermeasures.

Description
Preventing nonprivileged users from executing privileged functions mitigates the risk that unauthorized individuals or processes may gain unnecessary access to information or privileges. Privileged functions include, for example, establishing accounts, performing system integrity checks, or administering cryptographic key management activities. Nonprivileged users are individuals that do not possess appropriate authorizations. Circumventing intrusion detection and prevention mechanisms or malicious code protection mechanisms are examples of privileged functions that require protection from nonprivileged users.

Who does this work

13 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-255248r1015729_chk)

Verify that SSMC prevents nonprivileged users from executing privileged functions by doing the following: 1. Log on to SSMC appliance as ssmcadmin. Press "X" to escape to general bash shell. 2. Execute the following commands: $ sudo /ssmc/bin/config_security.sh -o sudo_password -a status Sudo password is enabled If the command output does not read "Sudo password is enabled", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-58805r869893_fix)

Configure SSMC to prevent nonprivileged users from executing privileged functions by doing the following: 1. Log on to SSMC appliance as ssmcadmin. Press "X" to escape to general bash shell. 2. Execute the following command: $ sudo /ssmc/bin/config_security.sh -o sudo_password -a enable
