The operating system must require users to reauthenticate for privilege escalation.

Without reauthentication, users may access resources or perform tasks for which they do not have authorization.

When operating systems provide the capability to escalate a functional capability, it is critical the user reauthenticate.

Verify the operating system requires users to reauthenticate for privilege escalation. If it does not, this is a finding.

Configure the operating system to require users to reauthenticate for privilege escalation.
