Title

RHEL 10 must restrict privilege elevation to authorized personnel.

Control

Verify RHEL 10 restricts privilege elevation to authorized personnel with the following command: $ sudo grep -riw ALL /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d/ | grep -v "#" If the either of the following entries is returned, this is a finding: ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL ALL ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Discussion

If the "sudoers" file is not configured correctly, any user defined on the system can initiate privileged actions on the target system.
