The Xylok Security Suite configuration file must be protected.

Protecting the configuration file is a fundamental aspect of maintaining the security, integrity, and stability of Xylok Security Suite. By implementing robust protection mechanisms, Xylok can safeguard sensitive information, ensure compliance, and enhance operational reliability while minimizing the risks associated with unauthorized access and misconfigurations.

Check the Xylok configuration file permissions with the following command:

$ ls -l /etc/xylok.conf

If this file has permissions greater than "0644", this is a finding.

As root, correct permissions for xylok.conf by running:

    # chmod 0644 /etc/xylok.conf
