The VMM must enforce a 180-day maximum password lifetime restriction.

Rule version SRG-OS-000076-VMM-000430 · STIG v2 · 2026-09-04

Discussion

Any password, no matter how complex, can eventually be cracked. Therefore, passwords need to be changed periodically. If the VMM does not limit the lifetime of passwords and force users to change their passwords, there is the risk that the VMM passwords could be compromised.

Check

Verify the VMM enforces a 180-day maximum password lifetime restriction.

If it does not, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the VMM to enforce a 180-day maximum password lifetime restriction.
