Assessment Title

Rule Text

The system package management tool must cryptographically verify the authenticity of software packages during installation.

Description

Discussion Text

To prevent the installation of software from unauthorized sources, the system package management tool must use cryptographic algorithms to verify the packages are authentic.

How this relates to the STIG checklist: STIG vs SCAP benchmark.

Assessment Script Powered by AISandbox-executed

A standalone Shell script to assess this control automatically. Review before running it in your environment.

Syntax-checked and actually executed in an isolated sandbox (not the real system this checks) — confirmed to run without errors.

#!/bin/sh
# OVAL Definition: oval:mil.disa.fso.solaris11:def:430
if [ ! -f "/var/sadm/install/admin/default" ]; then echo "PASS"; exit 0; fi
if grep -q "^authentication=quit$" /var/sadm/install/admin/default; then echo "PASS"; exit 0; else echo "FAIL"; exit 1; fi

Remediation

Edit /var/sadm/install/admin/default and set the authentication setting to quit.
