Ensure all users last password change date is in the past
HighLevel 1Automatedcos
Description
All users should have a password change date in the past. If a users recorded password change date is in the future then they could bypass any set password expiration.
How it is checked
Audit method: Shell command
shell
[ -r /etc/shadow ] || exit 1; t=$(( $(date +%s) / 86400 )); awk -F: -v t=$t '$2 ~ /^[^*!xX]/ && $3 != "" && $3+0 > t {f=1} END{exit f}' /etc/shadow && echo compliant || echo noncompliant- Expected output
compliant
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
Investigate any users with a password change date in the future and correct them. Locking the account, expiring the password, or resetting the password manually may be appropriate.
