1.277 RHEL-10-600530

Information

RHEL 10 must require users to reauthenticate for privilege escalation.

GROUP ID: V-281208RULE ID: SV-281208r1166576

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 that the user reauthenticate.

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

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 to not allow users to execute privileged actions without authenticating.

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

$ sudo sed -i '/\!authenticate/ s/^/# /g' /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d/*
