Description

While the system administrator can establish secure permissions for users’ .netrc files, the users can easily override these.

This rule ensures every .netrc file or directory under the home directory related to an interactive user is not group or world accessible

Rationale

.netrc files may contain unencrypted passwords that may be used to attack other systems. Note: While the complete removal of .netrc files is recommended, if any are required on the system, secure permissions must be applied.

Remediation

Shell script

The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

#!/bin/bash

for user in $(awk -F':' '{ if ($3 >= 1000 && $3 != 65534) print $1 }' /etc/passwd); do
    home_dir=$(getent passwd "$user" | cut -d: -f6)
    find "${home_dir}/.netrc" -exec chmod 0600 {} \;
done

Ansible playbook

The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
