Ubuntu OS must require users to reauthenticate for privilege escalation or when changing roles.

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. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000373-GPOS-00156, SRG-OS-000373-GPOS-00157, SRG-OS-000373-GPOS-00158

Who does this work

7 NICE work roles and 5 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.

Details

Check Text (C-275647r1147991_chk)

Verify the "/etc/sudoers" file has no occurrences of "NOPASSWD" or "!authenticate" by using the following command: $ sudo grep -Ei '(nopasswd|!authenticate)' /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d/* If any occurrences of "NOPASSWD" or "!authenticate" return from the command, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-79654r1147990_fix)

Remove any occurrence of "NOPASSWD" or "!authenticate" found in "/etc/sudoers" file or files in the "/etc/sudoers.d" directory.
