Description
Without reauthentication, users may access resources or perform tasks for which they do not have authorization. When operating systems provide the capability to escalate a functional capability, it is critical the user reauthenticate.

Details

Check Text (C-271726r1091890_chk)

Verify that OL 9 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-75683r1091889_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.
