Ensure permissions on /etc/passwd are configured

MittelStufe 1Automatisiertfreebsd

Beschreibung

The /etc/passwd file contains user account information used by many system utilities, which must be readable for these utilities to operate. It is critical to ensure that the /etc/passwd file is protected from unauthorized write access. Although it is protected by default, the file permissions could be changed inadvertently or through malicious actions. Audit: compares `ls -ld` mode (this mode or more restrictive), owner and group with the CIS values.

Erwartete Ausgabe: compliant

So wird behoben

Behebungsmethode: Anleitung oder Infrastruktur-Patch
