Ensure password expiration is 365 days or less

HochStufe 2Automatisiertcos

Beschreibung

The PASS_MAX_DAYS parameter in /etc/login.defs allows an administrator to force passwords to expire once they reach a defined age. It is recommended that the PASS_MAX_DAYS parameter be set to less than or equal to 365 days. The window of opportunity for an attacker to leverage compromised credentials or successfully compromise credentials via an online brute force attack is limited by the age of the password. Therefore, reducing the maximum age of a password also reduces an attacker's window of opportunity.

bad=0; [ -r /etc/shadow ] || exit 1; v=$(awk '/^[[:space:]]*PASS_MAX_DAYS[[:space:]]/{print $2}' /etc/login.defs | tail -1); [ -n "$v" ] && [ "$v" -ge 1 ] && [ "$v" -le 365 ] || bad=1; for x in $(awk -F: '$2 ~ /^[^*!xX]/ && $2 != "" {print ($5==""?"99999":$5)}' /etc/shadow); do [ "$x" -ge 1 ] && [ "$x" -le 365 ] || bad=1; done; [ $bad -eq 0 ] && echo compliant || echo noncompliant
