Description
Reconstruction of harmful events or forensic analysis is not possible if audit records do not contain enough information. At a minimum, the organization must audit the full-text recording of privileged commands. The organization must maintain audit trails in sufficient detail to reconstruct events to determine the cause and impact of compromise.

Who does this work

6 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.

Check Text (C-234909r958412_chk)

Verify the SUSE operating system generates an audit record for all uses of the "chsh" command. Check that the command is being audited by performing the following command: > sudo auditctl -l | grep -w '/usr/bin/chsh' -a always,exit -S all -F path=/usr/bin/chsh -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=-1 -k privileged-chsh If the command does not return any output, this is a finding. Note: The "-k" allows for specifying an arbitrary identifier. The string following "-k" does not need to match the example output above.

Fix Text (F-38060r618997_fix)

Configure the SUSE operating system to generate an audit record for all uses of the "chsh" command. Add or update the following rules in the "/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules" file: -a always,exit -F path=/usr/bin/chsh -F perm=x -F auid>=1000 -F auid!=4294967295 -k privileged-chsh To reload the rules file, restart the audit daemon > sudo systemctl restart auditd.service or issue the following command: > sudo augenrules --load
