Description
To properly set the permissions of /etc/shadow, run the command:
$ sudo chmod 0640 /etc/shadow
Rationale
The /etc/shadow file contains the list of local
system accounts and stores password hashes. Protection of this file is
critical for system security. Failure to give ownership of this file
to root provides the designated owner with access to sensitive information
which could weaken the system security posture.
Shell script
The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.
#!/bin/bash
chmod u-xs,g-xws,o-xwrt /etc/shadow
Ansible playbook
The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
- name: Test for existence /etc/shadow
stat:
path: /etc/shadow
register: file_exists
