Verify Amazon Linux 2023 requires users to provide a password for privilege escalation.
Ensure that "/etc/sudoers" has no occurrences of "NOPASSWD" with the following command:
$ sudo grep -ri nopasswd /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d/
If any occurrences of "NOPASSWD" are returned, this is a finding.
Configure Amazon Linux 2023 to not allow users to execute privileged actions without authenticating with a password.
Remove any occurrence of "NOPASSWD" found in "/etc/sudoers" file or files in the "/etc/sudoers.d" directory.
$ sudo sed -i '/NOPASSWD/ s/^/# /g' /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d/*
