AlmaLinux OS 9 must restrict privilege elevation to authorized personnel.

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

Verify AlmaLinux OS 9 restricts privilege elevation to authorized personnel with the following command:

$ sudo grep -iwR 'ALL' /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d/ | grep -v '#'

/etc/sudoers:root ALL=(ALL) ALL /etc/sudoers:%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

If the either of the following entries are returned, including their NOPASSWD equivalents, this is a finding: ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL ALL ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Remove the following entries from the /etc/sudoers file or configuration files under /etc/sudoers.d/ (including NOPASSWD equivalents):

ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL ALL ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
