RHEL 10 must be configured to not bypass password requirements 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.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000373-GPOS-00156, SRG-OS-000373-GPOS-00157, SRG-OS-000373-GPOS-00158

Verify RHEL 10 is not configured to bypass password requirements for privilege escalation with the following command:

$ sudo grep pam_succeed_if /etc/pam.d/sudo

If any occurrences of "pam_succeed_if" are returned, this is a finding.

Configure RHEL 10 to require users to supply a password for privilege escalation.

Remove any occurrences of " pam_succeed_if " in the "/etc/pam.d/sudo" file.
